The only place in MB where the password is added (i.e. the private keys are encrypted) is in the 'File | Add password' menu option.
You can use any character in the password (any Unicode) so hashes or asterisks would be acceptable.
For security reasons you cannot remove a password if you do not know it.
In the next version of MultiBit there is password recovery (from your seed phrase) but that does not exist in MultiBit Classic.

I know that this is probably off topic, but, after upgrading to MB 5.18 one of my wallets has an unknown password. Since there are no "hash" marks or asterisks I am not even sure how many characters there are... I have restarted 5 times with no improvement, tried all of my passwords, even my 256 bit password, with no good results. Is there anyway of "deleting" said unknown password? Or finding whatever it may be?
Can I back it up through the client? Because when I manually backed it up with 2 wallets only 1 followed when I tested removing the roaming.
Hey jim618,
Great work on the app! My favourite client to drag around on an encrypted USB drive
However, I have one teeny tiny thing that's been promised to be looked at, multiple times, in the past ~2 years. SOCKSv5 proxy.
I'm using Tails as a daily OS, and MultiBit refuses to connect. But I can't set the proxy either. Previously, the main reason of not-yet-implemented status was that Bitcoinj did not support SOCKS proxy, only HTTP - recently, this changed, see here: https://bitcoinj.github.io/networking
Could we please have some proxy goodness in the close future?

Thanks for that heads up about that scam email subSTRATA.
Scammers are now targeting MultiBit (?) and Blockchain.info - if you received the same or similar email do not click on any links in it, just delete email.
"Bitcoin MultiBit Service Yes Situation in this moment
Since our last update situation yes in this moment on our servers, we worried about the size of wallets. And many of these wallets are no funds, no movement and no logins.
Because to avoid future problems with our servers, we are requesting that all users wishing to continue with their wallets to make a brief confirmation activation.

Nice job hiding the address!
(You just forgot the QR code :p)
Try a comma (,) instead of a dot (.).
It's probably because your system treats the comma as a decimal separator, not the dot.

I can't withdraw less than 1 BTC?!
Not sure where this question comes from. But, yes, you can withdraw less than 1 btc from a MultiBit wallet.The reference to 'pocket change wallet' is this: Some people don't like having to enter a wallet password every time they want to spend even small amounts of coin; so they set up a non-encrypted wallet, in which they keep just a small amount of coin just for such small transactions. If the wallet in non-encrypted, MultiBut won't ask them to enter a password to spend the money. But, of course, that small-change wallet is not secured by encryption.
Other folks might want to set up a non-encrypted 'canary wallet'. That's one with a tiny bit of unprotected coin in it -- on the premise that, if the security of their computer or backup system is breached by an attack, that wallet will be emptied most easily; and, by seeing that happen, one can check and correct how the breach occurred, thus protecting other files on the system.

The program is safe for use ?
A good way to answer your question is to look at the various risks involved in using MultiBit (or any other Bitcoin wallet) and seeing what is being done to avoid or remove them.
There are two main risks in using Bitcoin:
1) You lose access to your private keys and hence cannot spend your bitcoin as you wish. You can pretty much avoid this by backups. MultiBit needs to be backed up every time you create new receiving addresses.
A good backup plan is to keep copies of your wallets on two separate USB drives and keep them safe.
2) Someone steals your bitcoin. To do this they need to get your private keys. I recommend keeping your wallets encrypted always (except maybe for a 'pocket change' wallet). It's a big area this but the main things you can do to help is :
+ Always download MultiBit from https://multibit.org
+ Keep your computer clean of viruses and malware.
If you have large amounts of bitcoin then you want to consider an offline solution or multisig. MultiBit does not have offline signing yet (Trezor support is how we want to do this) so for offline signing you would want to use Electrum or Armory. For multisig there are a few wallets supporting this but you'd have to evaluate these for yourself.

I recommend upgrading to 0.5.18 and then doing a reset blockchain.
There has been some work since 0.5.14 on the bloom filters and hence which tx are 'seen' so it is definitely work doing

Hey, Im using 5.14 on my mac, Im missing 5btc. when I put my addresses on the blockchain as watch only, they showed up, and i looked at each address and the missing 5 also shows up there. Im nervous to upgrade it, should I just go ahead and do so? I have back up copies of the private keys, both in paper form and on a dongle. I noticed that multibits private addys dont start with a 5, so im assuming that I just can import them to blockchain..
Any help is appreciated... The missing 5 seemed to happen when the malleability issue was being talked about.
