i want to change my wallet password on a regular basis, how can i do that please ? !
thank you !
Most programs that do offer changing of passwords internally use a very long password that gets stored in ecnrypted form, encrypted by the password a user types in. That one is of course changeable easily.
IOTA wallet doesn't work like that. You need to transfer funds into a new Seed/Wallet.
Create a new Seed, and write that down on two papers. Store them at two different places.
Login on the new Seed. Create a deposit address, attach that to the tangle. Paste that address into a textfile. Logout.
Login on the old Seed. Transfer all IOTA to the new address. The mood point is about rechecking that transfer a day after, occasionally needing to reattach.
That might be because of that Bitfinex Light Node beeing a loadballancer, and some node you get redirected to isn't up to date?
Regarding security. Each new transfer takes your ballance at risk, because while your old funds still beeing all safe meanwhiles you got infected on your desktop by some trojan that spys on keyboard input and stuff.
Best to transfer funds not to often. Best to use several wallets, splitting funds across those. Letting some of them just gain age, using others more recent.
Use the Blockexplorer, not the wallet, to check funds periodically.
Store each old credentials, as useless as they might have become, just keep them for historical value.
