what is the version of the Electrum installed on Tails?
a couple of versions before, Electrum password worked differently. by default you could open your wallet, see the transactions, balance, addresses,.... but to access the keys (seed, private key, signing, ...) you needed to enter the password.
they changed this behavior and now when you choose a password you have to choose what to encrypt. it can be the old behavior or encrypt everything.

you are either running an old version or didn't encrypt everything.
p.s. i think it was changed in 2.8.0

I am using v 2.7.9 because it's the version that comes installed with Tails. I have no idea how to update or reinstall the latest version on an offline system. If I use internet it will defeat the purpose of a cold storage..any advice on this?

if you add persistence then yes. but it will be a big complicated.

Do you know of any website where I can find information about this? I find it strange with so many good coins nowadays, how there is very little information on how to install safely these wallets. Almost all videos I see are for the bigger cryptocurrencies with bitcoin being the most prominent. What would you do if you wanted to install wallets for, for ex., NEO, NEM, MIOTA,etc.
