Title: Client should ask for password twice before encrypting wallet.dat Post by: barbarousrelic on October 30, 2011, 01:34:16 PM Yes, I know everyone should back up your wallet.dat before encrypting. But still, it's a good idea (all upside and no downside) to require the password to be typed twice to avoid typos in the password.

You must enter password twice and it must match or the encryption will fail. There is no risk of losing your wallet due to a typo (unless you happen to type it twice ::) ) Title: Re: Client should ask for password twice before encrypting wallet.dat Post by: dunand on October 31, 2011, 02:17:47 AM It was discussed here : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46782
