Title: Encryption Passphrase case sensitive ?
Post by: redwoods on June 04, 2014, 03:49:53 PM
I'm running bitcoin 0.8.6,  I have forgotten my password  ::) If I dont remember it then it will serve me right as this happened before but I managed to get eventually get it right last time.

So my question is, is the password/phrase case sensitive ?  it will save me a lot of time trying to work it out..

For the future it's a good idea to use a password manager. Checkout keepass http://keepass.info (http://keepass.info), lastpass https://lastpass.com (https://lastpass.com), 1password https://agilebits.com/onepassword (https://agilebits.com/onepassword)

Plus it helps using unique strong passwords on websites too.
