Title: Problem with synchronization Electrum wallet Windows
Post by: Fish15 on October 10, 2017, 09:26:02 AM
Hi
I downloaded Standalone Executable Windows version on my working computer, using seed password. Then at home, i downloaded the same version using the same seed, but it says that my password is wrong. Next day on my work computer the wallet works fine and the password is correct. So the problem with synchronization. Don't know how to solve it. Can somebody help?

Seed and password are two difrent things.
When you restore your wallet using the seed then this wallet ( the one on the new device) is not protected by pass yet ( you need to add it).

the way how it works is:
1 - make a new wallet on your working computer (you should receive the seed and write it down  ... it's full backup of your wallet)
2 - in next step you should protect your wallet ( add pass )
3 - If you want to use the wallet on other device you should either
     a) use the seed to recover it ( recovered wallet is without pass protection ... you need to secure it again)
     b) copy the wallet file. In this case you need know your pass (if you did the step 2)
