Title: How to read/find encrypted private key ?
Post by: ajrah on July 28, 2015, 12:11:42 PM
I just created bitgo account, after I created wallet , I received backup key in .pdf , but I didn't understand how to read or find my private key in this file.
here is the file :
This is your private key, encrypted with your passcode.

You should immediately move your coins to a new address.  The only thing protecting you right now is your passcode and chances are that is not as strong as you would hope.  Always be careful posting your private key - even when encrypted - anywhere.

That said, you should be able to ask bitgo how this works and/or you should ask in the service discussion (you can move this):
