Catchphrase to restore wallet #653

Closed johnny72764 closed 3 years ago

johnny72764 commented 3 years ago

Help! My wallet never actually synched to the website and was lost? during an upgrade. I currently am running 2.3.0 and have both my catchphrase and seed phrases; however, when trying to restore my wallet through the app. it asks for me to enter my catchphrase first before the 24 seed phrases, yet, there is no entry field to enter catchphrase? What to do? Am I missing something? I don't want to lose and or stop investing.

@johnny72764 When you open the app, it opens the passphrase popup? If you close it, can you see if your wallet is loaded? Maybe it's displaying because you have an unencrypted wallet
