This PR is a first step towards removing account management from geth, and contains a lot of the user-facing changes. With this PR, the `personal` namespace disappears. **Note**: `personal` namespace has been deprecated for quite some time (since ethereum#26390 1 year and 8 months ago), and users who have wanted to use it has been forced to used the flag `--rpc.enabledeprecatedpersonal`. So I think it's fairly non-controversial to drop it at this point. Specifically, this means: - Account/wallet listing -`personal.getListAccounts` -`personal.listAccounts` -`personal.getListWallets` -`personal.listWallets` - Lock/unlock -`personal.lockAccount` -`personal.openWallet` -`personal.unlockAccount` - Sign ops -`personal.sign` -`personal.sendTransaction` -`personal.signTransaction` - Imports / inits -`personal.deriveAccount` -`personal.importRawKey` -`personal.initializeWallet` -`personal.newAccount` -`personal.unpair` - Other: -`personal.ecRecover` The underlying keystores and account managent code is still in place, which means that `geth --dev` still works as expected, so that e.g. the example below still works: ``` > eth.sendTransaction({data:"0x6060", value: 1, from:eth.accounts[0]}) ``` Also, `ethkey` and `clef` are untouched. With the removal of `personal`, as far as I know we have no more API methods which contain credentials, and if we want to implement logging-capabilities of RPC ingress payload, it would be possible after this. --------- Co-authored-by: Felix Lange <[email protected]>
