Recovering a 21-word mneumonic #143

Closed kennsippell closed 6 years ago

kennsippell commented 6 years ago

A friend came to me with a seed for a wallet she made on blockchain.info back in 2013. She has a photo of a 21 word recovery seed containing some super-weird words like graf. Doesn't seem to be BIP or Electrum -- wondering if you guys used your own seeding algorithm back in those days maybe? Or if you'd have any helpful tips for recovering the wallet. https://ibb.co/n0NyH6

We did have a mnemonic back in the day to recover your guid and password. Please use the following page to recover a wallet from a legacy mnemonic:

@mpfluger Thanks for the pointer! I've tried this but dead-end at "Please check your email to approve this login attempt." Is it possible to recover the wallet without knowledge of the email that was used to set up the wallet?

if you have the wallet.aes.json. can use that instead of login.
