The wallet-disable-private-keys-encryption command in Mintlayer is used to completely remove any existing encryption from the wallet's private keys. This action requires the wallet to be unlocked before proceeding. It is a significant security decision as it makes your wallet file accessible without a password.
Security Risk: By executing this command, you are removing an important security feature. After disabling encryption, your wallet file and its private keys become accessible to anyone who has access to the file. This increases the risk of unauthorized access and potential theft of funds.
