[nopara73]

https://old.reddit.com/r/WasabiWallet/comments/g6fzre/pw_issue/

password works when tested, but when trying to send i get wrong password error.

@molnard can you investigate this after the user gives more info here.

Questions:

• What Wasabi version the wallet was created?
• What Wasabi version are you using currently?
• Do you have unconventional characters in your password?
• Do you suspect you may accidentally added whitespaces to your password?

[molnard]

There is a small "eye" icon, where you can check the entered password. Can you verify there that the entered passwords are the same?

Quoting @lontivero :

Questions:

Does the user's password contains non-English characters (for example: ñ, ü, à, é, ¢, ©)?
Does the user's password contains spaces or non-visible characters?
Is the user entering the password manually or copying pasting it?
Could the user generate a wallet with a password that fails and share pair wallet file + password with us (very useful)

No non-English characters
No spaces or non-visible characters
User has tried both
User not sure how to gen a wallet, get btc in and then repro because user's btc is stuck in the wallet at issue.

How can i get my coin?

We are releasing a new Wasabi v1.1.11.1 in a very short time. Please download and install this new package, and then try if your issue is fixed.

[CWCake]

https://docs.wasabiwallet.io/using-wasabi/InstallPackage.html#other-linux says 1.1.11.1 but the .dmg is still 1.1.11 on https://wasabiwallet.io/#download

[CWCake]

And thank you all for your responsiveness. I'm hoping the new version will fix.

[nopara73]

No, it's not fixed. There was a more urgent thing to fix with that release. Sorry we couldn't deal with your bug yet. Would you mind trying to create a new throwaway wallet with the same password on the testnet, get some testnet coins: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/17690/is-there-any-where-to-get-free-testnet-bitcoins

And then tell us if you were able to reproduce it? If so, then it's great, because it's reproducable and then we just have to figure out what character could ruin it on what platform. If we can reproduce the bug, then we can fix it.

@CWCake can you test if your password work on the CoinJoin tab?

[CWCake]

i reinstalled, creating some trash wallets, played around and was able to get the CJ tab work on wallet at issue. Could have been white space :|

[MaxHillebrand]

@CWCake the release is here, sorry, I didn't have a link when I wrote initially. [it is not on the website yet]

I agree with @nopara73, likely the release does not fix your issue, but maybe it will - worth a shot.

Anyhow, good to hear that you figured out the correct password with the white space.

I will close the issue now, but if there is again some weird thing happening with the password, then please re-open it.

[nopara73]

likely the release does not fix your issue

It's not likely. It does definitely not, as we didn't even get there to try to fix it.

Anyway, ok for closing and call it "user error" for now, but please if you have any suspicion Wasabi has a bug around here then scream!

[Dnmhmd]

Hi. I'm created and opened a wallet, but forgot the password. Is it possible to change the password from inside the wallet?

[nopara73]

If you have an idea of your password and only made a typo or something, then there's a chance you can find it: https://docs.wasabiwallet.io/using-wasabi/PasswordFinder.html
