Title: Lost Pass phrase to Bitcoin Qt wallet. Help appreciated. technical question? Post by: MrCrabs on March 22, 2014, 09:54:04 AM Hi everybody,
I have a qt wallet with some coins in it. I have a very long pass phrase. 85 characters (I think) Is there a limit on the amount of characters you can input on the Qt wallet? IE. while I may have inputted 85 characters dose the wallet truncate to a lesser amount? Regards and thanks. Title: Re: Lost Pass phrase to Bitcoin Qt wallet. Help appreciated. technical question? Post by: sdp on March 26, 2014, 11:26:42 AM Try variations on case and see if you have any keyboard keys which are not working well. Maybe the 'e' of your keyboard is stuck, for example.
If so, a passphrase such as 'Here comes the sun' might become 'Hre comes the sun' or 'Hr coms th sun' and so on. Title: Re: Lost Pass phrase to Bitcoin Qt wallet.

Only really an issue with special characters. For example, a "@" on a UK keyboard becomes a ' " ' if I change the keyboard map to a US one.
