I highly doubt they stole your 0.58 btc like you say after they gave away 10 btc yesterday to 500k user.

Either you forgot/misstyped your pass (why don't you people use password manager like lastpass or keepass?) or you've been hacked (unlikely because coins would move).

But reading your post again it seems you actually created a new wallet and not just a new address. Check your emails for identifiers and make sure you have correct passwords for wallet(s) and you'll get your coins.



Indeed, I don't say they stole 0.58BTC, but when I press on New address on my iPhone I assume I created a new address, right?
And I have notifications enabled when I send or receive bitcoins, why would I receive this confirmation otherwise?

I had trouble with leaking wallets. Come back after 8 hours or so and it would go down .2 BTC for example. No longer do business with them and I'm much better off.

>My BTC will always be stuck in this address...

>stole

If they are stuck, they aren't stolen. The address is not controlled by blockchain.info, the service does NOT know your private key. Your password isn't working because someone intercepted your email and changed it, most likely.

How did someone intercepted your email. Oops, don't tell me people still don't use https for all connection.  Shocked

As I said, there is no  chance someone intercepted any of my mails.
My password isn't in a mail nor it would be the same.

I know a lot of bitcoin, it's just a mystery why my password stopped working after I made the new address on my wallet

Yeah right, how could anybody hack my e-mail that has a 15+ characters password with combined UPPER & LOW case and special signs...
This isn't the case as I could log in right before making a new address...

We're extremely limited in what we can do for issues involving passwords not working. We can help track down lost identifiers, reset two factor authentication & IP locks, and even provide a history of backups for a user's wallet. Unfortunately if the password does not work then there is nothing more we can do. We have the lost password mnemonic page (https://blockchain.info/wallet/forgot-password?guid=). Whenever a password is changed by a user they need to make sure to note the new mnemonic. Otherwise the old password will still display when you enter the old mnemonic in. We certainly don't want people to lose access to their funds, so we try to offer as many backup plans as possible.

I would've asked for a back-up right after and right before the new address was made.
But your support Mandrik closed the support thread.

But I just noticed he opened one again, thanks for that.

So, yesterday morning I made a new address on my Blockchain.info wallet on my iPhone.
So a new address has been created, I send a payment of BTC0.58051 to my new created wallet.
As soon as I see on blockchain.info I get an unconfirmed transaction, my BTC addresses disappear on my iPhone.
I start to panic and I see to my transactions, these have disappeared from my iPhone too.

My wallet has gone from my iPhone by now, so I look up my PC and try to log in to my Blockchain.info account.
I put my account details in and I get an error. 'Error Decrypting Wallet. Please check your password is correct.'
So I guess my password to be wrong, however I didn't change my password lately.

I try and use all my known password combinations but none of them seem to work.
I tried recovering my wallet with the latest backup I had with the password I always used on Blockchain.info and I was able to recover my wallet.
Now I tried using my received backup I got in my e-mail from Blockchain after making the new address but my password is just not working.

It's only BTC0.58051 but that's equal to almost a rough 90€ which is a lot to me.

I already had contact with Mandrik from Blockchain.info and he closed the help request after saying there is nothing they can do about this.
I lost all my hope in Blockchain.info's wallets and I'm now using another online wallet.
I hope nobody else will have the same problems as I did receive now.

I can refer to these problems users 'recently' had with Blockchain.info too:

 - I lost 160 Bitcoins from my blockchain.info wallet!
 - Can't access my Blockchain.info's wallet anymore! <-- This is somehow the same problem I have
 - Complaints about blockchain.info's support
