Incorrect password

[skalper]

Hello. I've installed the latest ElectronCash-3.1.2.exe for Win 10, created new wallet WITH password, imported the coins. Then I tried to export private key and the wallet is saying "Incorrect password", the same problem is with sending coins. What shoul I do? The password I'm trying to enter is CORRECT. What the scam this wallet is?!?!

Hi i am having the same issue today as you are!!
Trying to send my BCH to a new wallet and it is saying "incorrect password" also!

It's not a scam, it's a bug. I've reproduced the issue (on MacOS High Sierra) and it only occurs after I restart the wallet.

To reproduce, I used 3.1.2 Mac version of Electron Cash, verified the DMG hash, then proceeded as follows:

1. import the private key
2. write down the seed
3. enter a strong password and check the Encrypt box
4. watch the wallet synchronise completely
5. Close the Electron Cash app and open it again
6. Try to export the private keys and enter my password

Expected behaviour: password is accepted and
Actual behaviour: I get a message "invalid password"

Workaround: Don't restart the app! When I skip step 5, the app will accept my password. And since you of course wrote down the seed words, you can restore the wallet again from scratch, set a new password, and get access to your BCH again (both for private keys and for sending BCH)
