Can Alby recover the password, if I forgot the password to the Hub? Or is it unrecoverable? If so - I would like to see it mentioned a bit more, so user can take more care of it.
Comments
Is there a way to setup password via API or somehow on behalf of the user?
Some bundle nodes might use such feature.
Alby cannot recover the password for you.
The password is used to encrypt the seed phrase of the bitcoin wallet in the hub. That's why it is important to remember it. You cannot reset it currently. You can only change it using the previous password.
Moritz Indeed, and users should be prompted more about it
kolotom do you have any ideas where/how they should be prompted?
roland Present view after user has clicked "Save" on initialization process with text "Password you have chosen can not be changed without the lose of all the funds on the node." (100% true only if user chooses LDK)
"Check your password [here] and save it securely."
And have "eye" icon to peek for password hidden on ****** text box.
If after that user doesn't understand and save password proprerly, who is to blame?
