Topic: Forgotten myetherwallet password (Read 541 times)
if you have your address and private key, then you are good to go, but make sure you don't lose any of those!
you are fine as long as you have your private key
I used to have myetherwallet adress and i never list the password of myetherwallet in my notepad,only the eth account adress and the private keys which i think this are only the important to save.
My question is?
Is myetherwallet password is important when i need it to exchange my rewards into fiat?or only the eth account and private keys?
Hope you mates can help me clear this out.

You could easily use your private keys to login and do whatever transactions you wanted. The password we create during registration of a new eth wallet is used to generate Your private keys. Private keys is another way is used to unlock wallet.
As far as I know password is not that important what matters most is the private key it is the most important that you need to keep or store in a safe place.

Password is not more important than private key. For myether wallet no need password and all. You should have your private key safely to exchange. So don't bother about password
you will need your pass if your keys are encripted, and they should for sure be encrypted particularly if you have decided to save these to a file and place it in the cloud or similar.
If you lose them you can no longer access the wallet so they are as importan as your money you must have known it, but if you lost them on computer you may find them as well.
As I understood, he lost only password, not private key. With pk you can manage your assets without any problems, so everything is okay.
Both are important, you should store it properly, saving it to
your pc is not enough, perhaps prepare a backup for example
a USB.

Do you mean private key and not password? If you mean private key, then I hope you do not have any coins in there, if not, this is me telling you sorry, cos I think you might have lost them. I don't think that there is any other way that your private key can be retrieved, this is why it is always advise to be kept somewhere safe, and secured, but easily accessible.
actually the private key and password are only for opening your account and there are several ways to open them, one of them is your private key and password.
I'm sorry, but I think that there's nothing to be done, you need to either look for a key and password or forget about this purse. I think that this is the main rule of every Holder who holds tokens, he must take care of the keys and passwords.
Password is not required actually. It requires private key only in order to have access to your wallet and send fund. However, in case you face any problem, you can download metamask and import your wallet.
Ah, this is bad. I guess you meant your private ket by the way, cos that's what Myetherwallet uses, not passwords. You should check thoroughly for it. Maybe check your files, or any where that you keep information like that. Hopefully you get to find it, otherwise I'm sorry to say, but you have lost access to that account cos there is no way it can be retrieved.

The private key is the most important thing for you ether wallet . It is the main thing and it could not be retrieved . It should not be lost and if it is lost , then you could do nothing about it !
It is not that important. I also don't know passwords from my eth account. Private key is all what you need to know.
I also recommend you using Metamask extension to keep your private key in safety!

As I know password is the most important thing for any account. But in case of here private keys are important than password. With private keys you can access to your account .
Thats too bad the private key is the most important thing, if you lost it there's no way to open it again. If you have money in there its a loss.
Maybe you are confused what is the use of that password when you created your myetherwallet address. That password is useful when you will open your address via JSON file. It is more safe to open an address via JSON and your password than opening an address through private keys. Either of the two can still open you etherwallet address when you want to transfer your tokens to an exchange.

Neither of private key and json file with password is safe enough on the MEW platform. But, relatively speaking the pair of json file and password is safer because it requires 2 seperate variables. In other words a hacker who gains access to your password can do nothing without the json file, but with the private key alone the hacker can steal from your wallet.

In as much as your password is important in the MyEtherwallet ecosystem, especially when you loose your private key, the two most important keys when it comes to reward transfers are the private key and the public key(Address). A loss of private key is detrimental to your business health.
I make hundreds of transactions per month with MEW and you do not need the JSON or password file. Only the Private key is necessary to access your funds. Keep this private, safe and backed up.
Password and JSON files is one way of accessing you account or Myetherwallet address. In fact it is safer to use this method than accessing your account via private key. On the hierarchy of option to access an etherwallet address, private keys are the last option as this is not recommended way. Jump to:
