Title: no seed and "invalid OTC"
Post by: Hennyboy on September 30, 2017, 02:07:35 PM
hi I'm new to bitcoins. I tried out several wallets. I also tried Electrum. But now I'm only capable to see my coins. When I want to send some I get 'invalid otp'. 'Seed' is grayed out because of the 2FA I think. How can I send my coins to another wallet?

If you don't have Google Authenticator setup, and you didn't write the seed down (both of which were required when you first created the 2FA wallet) then you will be unable to move the coins...

If Google Auth is not working properly... Try and resync it from within the Google Auth app. There is an option in the Google Auth settings menu to resync with the servers.

If you have the original seed of the wallet then it is quite easy to recover your funds. Just goto 'File' > 'New/Restore' and restore the wallet via your seed and send your coins to your new wallet from there, It won't ask you about the 2FA anymore, but incase if you don't have the seed, then as HCP said your coins are lost
