The problem of forgotten passwords
As Blockchain's user base is increasing and more non-technical users are joining there has been an increased amount of people forgetting their password. It is frustrating trying to explain why we cannot reset passwords each time.
To counter this all new wallets will now be shown a recovery Mnemonic. This should be written down and kept secure.
If you record this we will be able to recover the wallet should the password (or identifier) be forgotten. With a few caveats:
- When the wallet password is changed a new Mnemonic needs to be recorded.
- If Double encryption is enabled two Mnemonics must be recorded.
The mnemonic includes a checksum to verify it was copied correctly. For existing wallets the Mnemonic can be found in [Account Settings].
If you don't record the Mnemonic or make a paper backup and forget the password there is nothing we can do to help, the coins are lost.

Can do.
The tooltip requires a mouseover event to stay open. Seems it needs to be replaced with a click for touch screens.
There is now a note parameter in the send api.
This isn't possible to change as it requires refreshing the page. Blockchain can never remember the password, since it's client side, so always requires re-logging when the page reloads.

Hi,
About export history. Do you think in add an advanced option to export with more informations, like: (value at time of transaction), the notes, fee paid,...

Can do.
I can't add notes to transactions using tablet (touchscreen). The popup disappear.
I think some parts of Blockchain.Info is not optimized for touchscreen use.

Another request via the send API -the ability to add a comment.

If I go to Account Settings and change the preferred language, I'll be disconnected from my wallet, being necessary to login again. Why?
