Problem with wallet recovery

Open burzakovskiy opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

I run Sia-UI v1.3 on Ubuntu v16.04. I have created wallet (but did not send any coins there). Then I decide to test wallet recovery. I've removed Sia-UI from .config directory. Have waited for blockchain sync. My seed was accepted. But my password was not for some reason. Instead, I received following error message: error when calling /wallet/unlock: provided encryption key is incorrect

Everything works if I enter seed again in the password field.

IIRC the UI currently does not support setting a custom password during seed recovery, but siac does. The command siac wallet init-seed -p should work. Seems reasonable that the UI should support this as well, though.

Was this ever fixed in Sia UI? I'm having the same problem. Password incorrect after attempted seed recover.

Seems like a case of bad HFE / UX / UI:
