Test Password #19

Description

Wasabi has a great feature with testing the password of a wallet. However, the UX is cluttered, and I think it can be streamlined.

The main issue I see with this tab, is that there is a duplication of the list of all the wallets. Right now it's especially a mess, because they are in a different order.

This could be solved by relying on the Wallet Explorer.

The right click context menu can have a button with Test Password. Currently it only has Load Wallet, so the context menu can be used more.

It could open a new tab, that only has the password input box for this wallet, with the Test Password button and the Load Wallet button. The same as it is now.

I don't like this much... For one, the Load Wallet button is again clutter, where I think the Wallet Explorer should be the main way to load a wallet.

Further, it might be "too much" to have a whole tab just for one password entry box.

So, instead, after clicking the Test Password button in the context menu of the Wallet Explorer, throw a popup notification [bottom right of the corner] that has a textbox where the password is entered, and a button to Test Password and Cancel. This notification box is only removed when it's canceled, or when the password is successful, then it shows a green box with Password Correct!, or a red box with Password Incorrect!.

Advantages

  • gets rid of the whole tab Test Password in the wallet manager
  • removes the clutter with the two lists of wallets
  • leverages the nice notification feature [with textbox] that is already in the new Wasabi design
  • has nice color coding with success / failure message

Alternatives

  • keep it as is in a dedicated tab
  • fix the order of the list of wallets
  • move it from the Wallet Manager to Tools menu.
