steempy changewalletpassphrase is not working ( work now after a work around )
Expected behavior
After successfully installing steem-python in ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I tried to use the following command to initiate a password for CL1 wallet:
steempy changewalletpassphrase
Then it jumped out a prompt:
passphrase:
I expected it to prompt me to enter password and confirm, then save it.
Actual behavior
However, it was not, whatever I entered, it will always complain:
How to reproduce
I have pre-installed python 3.6 in my ubuntu 16.04 LTS;
install steem-python as instructed in the manual:
pip3 install -U steemI have checked that my steempy is successfully installed:
Then I entered the command:
steempy changewalletpassphrase
The steempy jumped out prompt for me to enter a password:
passphrase:
Whatever password I entered, it will always complain as I described above.
This should be the password in steempy wallet, so that I can import my steem account and linked to this wallet subsequently.
- Browser: Chrome
- Operating system: ubuntu 16.04 LTS
I just figured out how to sort this out.
go to:
~/.local/share/steem
and delete the database.
Then just press enter and it will ask you for a new password:)
Thanks, all the guys.

This is not a steem master password. This is the local wallet password. I just tried and it works fine.

yes, I see. This is a password set for local wallet. However, it doesn't work on my side, anything wrong in my steps? Thanks.
if you haven't set it up before, just press Enter.
Thanks, will have a try.
Just tried, simply pressing enter didn't work for me.
This means, that you already had set a password once.
You have to go to
~/.local/share/steempyand delete the database.
When I was installing steem-python, there is no prompt for me to set a password.
let me try your way. Thanks.
Does the fold show up as 'piston' or 'steempy'?
