How to change password in Blockchain ?

Just go to settings-->security-->password change and change it. If you lost your password and want to change it its harder because you need 12 words passphrase. If you don't know that either its best to create new wallet and import old address.

That's the beauty of crypto. If you lose it you lost it.

For those paranoics among you I suggest securing your wallets with https://getpass.io/en passwords. It's free, super strong by default (but you can crank up the settings to whatever extent you want) and open-source. Nobody stores your passwords, you can generate them on-demand from every device.

But I think you shouldn't have to worry about it. Without the wallet ID nobody can hack your account. And if you set a protection, everytime you want to login on your wallet, a mail with a code will be send to your email. So, just keep your email safe and your wallet ID protected.

Bullshit. Don't use any online wallet ever. When are people going to learn this? Does it really take a theft of everything in your wallet to realize they're the crappies, least secure wallets ever? Seriously. Google it. Don't take my word for it. Blockchain.info is terrible for bitcoin losses and they blame their customers. What kind of idiot would trust their money with a company like that?

"Your credit card got stolen you say? Well that sucks. I would suggest you get a new antivirus software and start collecting up some money to pay us back."

 "Um what the fuck? It's your incompetence that made me lose my money. Your shitty service has lost people thousands of dollars. Because it's your fault I expect you to pay me back."

 "Nope. Eat shit and die. Bye" (paraphrasing of course)

Would you stay with that credit card company? Obviously not. But people accept it with blockchaon.info like they're the 'official bitcoin wallet'. Even the title of this thread. There is not a password on the Blockchain. You are talking about a website that may as well be imastealyourshit.com. They have nothing to do with the Blockchain. You got fooled. If you haven't been robbed blind yet then get the hell out of there!!


Users using blockchain only have few btc actually and they are mostly newbies, if there are old timer, they may just be using it to store few amounts just so they can access when needed and it could just be less than $200. Online wallets may not be safe for some of us but blockchain seem to have reputation for the users here. Same goes with the exchange wallets that we traders store altcoins, we don't trust online storage but we kept coins on exchange wallets.

About blockchain.info security:

- your password is never transmitted over the internet, it is not sent to their servers, they don't store it in cookies or in any form; that is why they are unable to help recover lost passwords.

- user's personal data such as: email address is only made available to a client with the associated shared key, this is encrypted inside your wallet which requires your password to reveal.

In short - blockchain.info staff is not able to access your coins - unless they bruteforce your password.

Reference: https://blockchain.info/wallet/security

Also they are open-source project and client side javascript is available at https://github.com/blockchain

It's not 100% safe as nothing about Bitcoin is 100% safe.

I would have to hope everyone knows that. But then why write this?:

But I think you shouldn't have to worry about it. Without the wallet ID nobody can hack your account.

You absolutely can (and most likely will) get hacked once you reach a certain threshold that they want to see before they steal your money *cough* I mean 'get hacked'.

It's just as convenient (IMO actually more convenient) to have a wallet on your phone like mycelium where the developers don't have access to your private keys.

You say that blockchain.info developers steal money from users when they have X BTCs (a big amount) on wallet there?

I don't think so... Otherwise we would see lots of people here complaining about that service, and I don't see this happening. That it's not 100% safe, I agree, but that they are stealling BTCs, I doubt...

It's not 100% safe as nothing about Bitcoin is 100% safe. If you have a desktop wallet, your computer can be infected by a virus and your BTCs will be stolen. If your computer crash, it's all over. There are some steps to make it safest, it's true, but not 100% anyway.

Some people aren't interested doing many steps to storage BTCs, they just want to use an easy and online service like BlockChain.info. They don't have much money to store, they won't miss it very much if a hacker steal accounts or any other thing. And it's a very useful service indeed, I'm using it since almost 1 year and never had any problem with them.

I'm just telling him about his actual situation. But if OP wants a safest way to storage BTCs, he can follow what you are saying of course.

Please i want to findout how bitcoin can be tranfered from anaccount which password has been forgotten to a new wallet.
The following method only applies to web wallet at blockchain.info.
The answer is fairly simple and straight forward.Taken from their FAQ section.

Your password is never transmitted over the internet, sent to our servers, stored in cookies or in your browser's local storage in any form for this reason we are unable to help recover lost passwords.
If that answers your question,you cannot send bitcoins if you have lost access to the password.However if you still have access to your phrase,next one's for you.

A secret phrase can be set in your "Account Details" panel after login. In the case of lost wallet identifiers, yubikeys or lost email access the secret phrase can be given to us to help verify account ownership. This is reviewed manually on a case by case basis

There are no passwords stored on the blockchain.
If you mean the password of your wallet then you should look up the process for your specific wallet, if you lost your password (and your seed depending on the wallet) however then it'll be hard to get your bitcoins back.

How to change password in Blockchain ?

If you mean change your password in blockchain.info wallet, I do not think it is possible. if you forget your password and you do not have the recovery phrase to restore it, you loose your btc
