Key Forgot Password Fails

[mark-dlt]

Description

When attempting to reset the password of the key and recovery phrase using the Forgot Password link, the transaction tool reports "Error in password reset, The password could not be reset at this time. Please check the application log" but the recovery password is updated and not the key.

Log file contains:
2022-10-03 17:58:52.833 INFO - Changing the password for key "/Users/user/Documents/TransactionTools/Keys/testkey.pem"
2022-10-03 17:58:52.834 INFO - Trying stored passwords.

This reset can also sometimes leads to key and recovery phrase being disconnected requiring key recovery.

Steps to reproduce

Open the transaction tool and go to the Keys section. Double click on a key and click the change password button. Select "Forgot your password?" to start password recovery and then click "Forgot your password?" again for the recovery phrase password. Enter the recovery phrase and click on the recover button. Create a new password and click continue and then an error message will be presented.

hold for new version. Work around is to reset the tool and recover the key with the recovery phrase.
