change_mnemonic_password
The change_mnemonic_password method allows a user to update the password used to encrypt a mnemonic phrase in their local database.
While this will change the password used to encrypt the mnemonic phrase in the local database, it will not update the wallet_password value in the MM2.json config file.
This will need to be updated manually, otherise you will see a log error Error initializing wallet: Error generating or decrypting mnemonic: Error decrypting mnemonic: HMAC error: MAC tag mismatch on next launch.
| Structure | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| current_password | string | the active mnemonic password for your wallet |
| new_password | string | the new password to use for encrypting your active mnemonic password |
