Each time I click on the button at the right of the main screen to request a payment, a new address is shown to me. So that's why I ask this question : are these addresses reusable ? Since there's no list of your addresses like in Electrum (or at least I've not found it), it's impossible for me to find the addresses I've already used, except maybe in block explorer, but that's not really practical.

You can reuse any address provided to you in the request screen but for privacy reasons we suggest you use a new one for each transaction.

You can see previously used addresses by drilling down into any transaction and viewing the transaction details (double click on the transaction in the Payments screen). The last screen in the wizard is the payment request that has the address in it.

Ok. Thank you. I never use already used addresses in MultiBit, but for some sites, like faucet, it's needed. That's cool, now I know I can use MultiBit for receiving faucet payment Wink !

I am recently using Multibit HD. Instead of starting a new thread it might be better to bump this one up since my query is about the same topic.

Anyway, I assume that used addresses cannot be seen in Multibit HD except by viewing the transaction details? So if I want to save my used addresses I would have to do this manually and copy it somewhere else?
