Cannot change vault password #4588

Open streetwriters[bot] opened 3 months ago

I wanted to change the vault password, but I get an error message that a specific note could not be verified (with a long cryptic hex number)

That long hex number must be the id of the note.

This is what's probably happening:

  1. You have old notes that are encrypted with a different password than your current vault password.
  2. When you try to change your vault's password, it tries and fails to decrypt those notes.
