Quote There is no way to export your private keys directly unless its an imported address that you imported to your wallet. To get the private keys for your main wallet addresses: 1. login to blockchain.info. 2. Click Settings > Security > Backup Recovery Phrase > write down your phrase with exact order to import it later using Electrum wallet. 3. Download Electrum bitcoin wallet and setup on your computer. 4. Start Electrum then choose file > new/restore > click next > choose the option "Standard Wallet" > then choose I already have a seed. 5. Enter the seed phrase you saved from Blockchain.info then click next you can choose a password to protect your wallet. 6. Now you control your wallet click addresses tab then choose the address you want right click and choose private key option. Title: Re: Where do i find the private key in blockchain wallet? Post by: ewaspiro on April 19, 2020, 03:01:31 PM you can go to iancoleman.io and enter your seed, there you will find all keys.
Or you could export the wallet.aes.json backup and decrypt it, you will find xpriv which is the master key. no need to install an external tool.

Complete the steps and get a private key. You can use phrases in other wallets and control them more easily without having to login to the site https://www.blockchain.com/. Warning: Phrases that you save may not be sent to other people and you can use those phrases to produce 2 types of "General and Segwit" wallets. Suggestion, use Segwit for lower costs and lock your topic if you already understand how. Title: Re: Where do i find the private key in blockchain wallet?

Wallet.aes.json? I'm pretty sure that exporting wallets was disabled when they upgraded a few years back. Title: Re: Where do i find the private key in blockchain wallet? Post by: o_e_l_e_o on April 19, 2020, 06:36:11 PM Be aware that all the methods described above - entering your seed in to Electrum, in to iancoleman.io, or in to any other wallet - should ideally be done on an offline, airgapped computer. Your seed should never touch an online device, as doing so potentially exposes it to any attackers or any malware which is present on that device and puts your coins at risk.
I would download iancoleman.io from the repository here (https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39), open it on a live OS on an airgapped computer, enter your seed, then find the private key for the address(es) you are interested in. Title: Re: Where do i find the private key in blockchain wallet? Post by: bitmover on April 20, 2020, 02:04:48 AM To summary it all, the 12 or 24 words are the seed you need to generate all the private keys from your wallet. You can use iancoleman tool to get each key separately or just paste them in electrum checking BIP 39 seed option.
Electrum will manage all your private keys for you, like blockchain.com does. To play really safe, do not re use those addresses derived from that Seed after you have done any of the above solutions discussed in this topic. After recovering the private keys, just move your funds to a new fresh wallet with a new seed. When you see your seed in a computer plugged to the internet, that seed becomes exposed and your funds are potentially at risk. |
