Can't export private key. #74

Closed ea19ea closed 2 weeks ago

When I try to export my private key, it gives me the private key of a different address.

show me details, how did you export it

ea19ea commented 4 months ago
  1. Open Bearby extension.
  2. Click on gear icon.
  3. Click on Seucrity & Privacy -> Export under Show Private Keys.
  4. Enter password, click on enter. The address shown in the pop-up doesn't match the address shown in the home page of the extension. And when I import this private key to the Massa Station wallet the address shown is the address I see when I reveal private key in the Bearby wallet not what I see in the home page of Bearby extension.

Looks like the way private keys are generated changed sometime before mainnet. I installed Bearby about a year ago I think and didn't know about this change. So now I don't have access to the address that I sent my funds to because I don't have the private keys of the address Bearby shows. a

Hello, yes the massa added version and network params into address, so now it different format, but any way you can back access it i think, if you will learn how works key pair generating and pack to massa address format
