Restoring from old (2014) paper Mycelium Wallet Backup #604

I have an old Mycelium Wallet Backup on paper, created July 2014, Mycelium Wallet 1.2.12., Backup Format Mycelium Backup 1.0. It used a 15-character password + checksum character, which I have.

It also lists Bitcoin address, and Encrypted Private Key - both in QR-code and in string of characters.

How do I go about restoring this wallet to a current wallet, be it Mycelium or some other one?

Hi. Hope you resolved your issue. That is a single key account. You should be able to spend from that paper wallet by just installing the Mycelium wallet on Android and then scanning the private key with the app. It should then ask you for the passphrase.

You can also create an account -> advanced -> scan
