Title: Desktop version 2.6.1. How to set PIN?
Post by: itogo on March 05, 2016, 11:53:52 PM
I can't find PIN.

Is it possible? Wallet opens automatically at starting Electrum.

Thank you!

You can set a password using the wallet menu > password option. Note that the balance and transaction history will always be displayed regardless of whether you set a password or not. The password is only necessary when spending your bitcoins. At that point it will ask for the password to decrypt your seed and sign the spending transactin.

If you want privacy for your balance and transaction history then use the user account feature of your operating system. Create a separate user account for other users so that they don't bump into your stuff.
