1. Is this the only function where the wallet passphrase can be changed? Meaning, does the gui for askpassphrase point to this same location?
2. Do anyone know the exact variable which is referenced for the oldpassphrase comparison?
I have attached the function below for reference. The reason for the question, I want to complete a stand-a-lone work around for when I forget or type my password in incorrectly for my current wallet. Thanks for all your help in advance. Please leave address for tip receipt for all answers that help me on this task.
