How can I create unencrypted addresses?
In my alphanet tezos-client, tezos-client gen keys <address> creates an unencrypted address, and requires the --encrypted flag to create an encrypted address.
But in the mainnet tezos-client, running tezos-client gen keys <address> asks for a new password and creates an encrypted address.
How can I create unencrypted addresses via in the mainnet tezos-client?

On mainnet, here is how to do it:
- start by creating the key with a non-existent node (here
xxxdoes not exist !):
tezos-client -A xxx gen keys for_stackexchange
It will display some error messages and say nothing more. In fact, the key was created.
- call it again:
tezos-client -A xxx gen keys for_stackexchange
Error:
The secret_key alias for_stackexchange already exists.
The current value is unencrypted:edsk43pBvh7zPgiGWSG3XSHybCqdQV7XRosqcGPLA9TDBc5ens7oP4.
- display the associated address:
tezos-client show address for_stackexchange -S
Warning:
Failed to acquire the protocol version from the node
Rpc request failed:
- meth: GET
- uri: http://localhost:8732/chains/main/blocks/head/metadata
- error: Unable to connect to the node: "Connection refused"

You cannot do this with the mainnet client afaik. You need to use third party tools like eztz in order to do so. Actually TezBox creates addresses which you can export unencrypted. There is also a python based tools library available called pytezos and you can look for the secret_key method
