Hello,

Please check the setting “Wallets” -> “Cron job” -> “Withdrawal locks” -> “Time to retain secret”. If you want the passphrase to be retained indefinitely, you should keep the value at 0.

When the value is 0, the passphrase is saved into a WordPress option, while if the value is not 0, the passphrase is simply used to unlock the wallet once for the duration specified, but is not saved: https://github.com/dashed-slug/wallets/blob/4.3.4/includes/coin-adapter-rpc.php#L602-L623

If the time to retain secret is 0, the wallet is unlocked every time a withdrawal is attempted. https://github.com/dashed-slug/wallets/blob/4.3.4/includes/coin-adapter-rpc.php#L510-L551

There is nothing else that you are missing. If you have set the time to retain secret to 0, and if afterwards you have set the correct passphrase, then that’s all you need to do.

Please let me know if you have done this. I am currently double-checking if the passphrase gets deleted on my end, but this will take 24 hours for me too.

with regards

OK thanks for checking.

I am really not sure why this happens. As mentioned before, if the time to retain is 0 and the correct passphrase is entered afterwards, it is saved as a WordPress option, so that the plugin can unlock the wallet at any time.

To find the option name, go to the coin adapter’s settings and inspect the wallet passphrase input box. The id and name of the field is the name of the option where the passphrase is saved. For example, for the built-in Bitcoin adapter, the option name is wallets-bitcoin-core-node-settings-rpc-passphrase.

I wonder if something deletes this option in your system. Can you check? Ideally, attempt to check the option value once after first entering the passphrase, and once more after the wallet is locked.

To check via the MySQL console:

SELECT option_name,option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE 'wallets-%-settings-rpc-passphrase';

To check with wp-cli from the linux command line:

wp option get wallets-bitcoin-core-node-settings-rpc-passphrase (substitute with your actual option name)

Apologies for the confusion, but I don’t see any other way to debug this. I am not able to reproduce the problem on my end.

Please let me know if you need any help with inspecting the passphrase option, and also let me know what you find.

with regards

Hello,

Where did you see a max value of 1440?

In Bitcoin core the maximum wallet timeout is 100000000 seconds, or about 3 years. Is your wallet different?

Please keep me posted about whether your fix works.

If you could tell me which wallet you are connecting to, perhaps I could test with that wallet.

with regards

Ah, OK 1440 is the maximum allowed in the plugin.

The coin adapter hook looks good.

In any case, I will check with the CRW wallet to see if I can reproduce the problem. I will let you know what I find.

with regards
