Spending password in Yoroi

spending password in Yoroi

Best,

I am Dirk and I live in Belgium. Installed Yoroi perfectly.

I succeeded in setting up some ADA Cardano.

Question, now I try to:

ADA to Binance, Yoroi asks the "spending password"

oops where can I find that password? or what password do they mean by that?

Still not the 15 Yoroi words password? Or do I have to create something first and password?

Ps: my Dutch translated with google, haha

Greetings

Haven’t installed Yoroi myself but this looks like it’s the same as Daedalus.

During installation you are asked to setup a password that is required every time you send ADA, also to generate a new address. You should have noted it and kept it safe. Is it possible you might find it in your records? If not you will have to delete and recover the wallet, which only requires the seed phrase and allows you to set a new spending password.

Hallo
bedankt te antwoorden,

Dus toch het 15 Yoroi woorden-wachtwoord moet ik dan invullen als spending password ?

Greetings

Nee, als u het huidige uitgavenwachtwoord niet kunt vinden, moet u de portefeuille verwijderen en vervolgens herstellen. Omdat ik Yoroi nog niet ken, kan ik niet helpen met de details van die procedure.

Ok,

Can not believe that the safety words should be used.
And I did not see any other conditions when installing.

Yoroi is working fast for the rest.
Reinstall … afraid of losing money!
Thanks

YES

Use the <receive screen> to generate a new address and use it to send money from Daedalus

NO

Use 12 sense words to transfer all funds from your Daedalus wallet to Yoroi.

But I want to send from Yoroi to Binance, for example, and I do not know which send password I have to use or to find it.<<<<<

Conclussion I can deposit on Yoroi but not remove from Yoroi.

I read only

Before you can transfer funds from your Daedalus wallet, you must create a Yoroi wallet and back it up. Upon completion, you will receive a 15-word recovery phrase which can be used to restore your Yoroi wallet at any time.

ATTENTION

Yoroi and Daedalus wallets use different key derivation schemes and they each have a separate format for addresses. For this reason, you cannot continue with your Daedalus wallet and must instead create a Yoroi wallet and transfer your funds (this will change in the future). Daedalus and Yoroi wallets are fully compatible for transferring funds. If you don’t have a working copy of Daedalus, you can use your 12-word recovery phrase to transfer the balance from Daedalus into Yoroi.

DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A WORKING COPY OF YOUR DAEDALUS WALLET?

I have diffiiculty maintaining my daedalus wallets both on Mac or Windows10, and recently the wallet wont connect to the network once again. I thought I am gonna lose my funds until, I read one of RobJF advice of how to recover/restore your fund from Daedalus wallet. I did just that, and hoping to work out and wallah, recover all my ADA fund from daedalus wallet to Yoroi. It was easy and all my fun has been recovered. As long as you have all your 12 Paraphrase words in every wallet you creat on Daedalus, thing will be okay spending passwords is just your wallet passwords.

I don’t recall that I was asked to enter a ‘Spending password’ either; otherwise, I would have saved it with the recovery words. Anyway, I am in the same situation as yours now.

Not sure whether there’s a way to delete your wallet within Yoroi, but if so do that, or if not then either remove Yoroi and reinstall it, or install it in a different browser. Then recover your wallet using the 15 word seed phrase, no password required.

@epicuristdirk When you restore Yorio Wallet with the 15 words of the seed phrase, it again asks you to set a spending password. I tried it when configuring the Yorio extension on another PC and in doing, he asked me to set the new spending password.

As long as you have the 15 word phrase, you are safe.

However, i myself have a much bigger problem. I can not find my 15 word phrase :frowning:

I still have access to the Yoroi wallet, I see my coins but i can not move them. Cannot restore the wallet, because all i have is the paper wallet. I started using the Yoroi wallet when the daedulus wallet had so many connection problems. I still have acces to that, but I do not think that will do me any good. Is there no way to some how get acces to my private keys, as long as i have access to the wallet it self?

If you have access to the wallet and you know the password you can just send the ADA to a different wallet. If you both forgot your recovery phrase and you forgot your password, nothing can be done.

I just created a Yoroi wallet with Ledger and I was not given a 15 word phrase nor a spending password. While I think this is fine because I don’t need any (I have the pass phrase and the ok-button of my Ledger Nano S for that) there is no mentioning of this in the FAQs of Yoroi. I think that all this information is from the time before Ledger support and it should be updated for not spreading uncertainty.

Am I correct with my understanding that there is no pass phrase and no spending password when Yoroi is used together with Ledger?

Not sure about the SP but certainly there is no seed phrase, except the Ledger one, that’s kind of the point of hardware wallets. I guess the SP goes with it.

You don’t have to create a spending password in Yoroi when using a hardware wallet.

Thanks Rob and Sebastien for confirmation.
This information should be also in the Yoroi FAQ for other users below nerd-status. :wink:

Hello, somebody can help me? i have problems to set spending password that i never set and only where i can go Is change password, but here ask to put old password(never set and i dont know where to fix)…somebody can help me to understand where is possible to recover a password never choosed in Yoroi?

Can you explain what you are trying to do? because what you’re saying doesn’t make sense and you’re probably making a mistake. For example: did you create a new wallet, or did you restore a previous wallet? Please keep in mind that the spending password is a personal ID required to carry out transactions or changes to the wallet; the word phrase is a key to create or restoring certain types of wallets.

I saw thing: if you did transaction thru a hard wallet then the hard wallet has this spending password within it. I list my 15 word recovery phrase so I might be out of luck but I did the transaction with a Ledger. So I’m looking into options as there might be a way out of my dilemma. I kinda doubt it. There is a password recovery service on the web somewheres.

i have the same problem with the spending password.
it’s the first time i tried to send ada from yoroi to binance and i m not sure about the spending password, it isnt the 6-code pin that i enter when i open the yoroi app, am i right or not?
