Hello,
I created a wallet, then added a password to it, then I close Multibit. So I was expecting that after doing that, everytime I start Multibit I would be asked for a password to access the password protected wallet? But it's not the case. So anyone who can access my computer will be able to send BTC without needing a password.
So I'm wondering if the password will only be requested when importing a backup wallet into another instalation of Multibit(or other client)
