Never enter your recovery phrase on any online website, you will certainly lose your funds in 100% of cases, wallets must be downloaded directly from the official website and multibit has closed since 2017.

Follow these instructions bellow to restore a multibit wallet to Electrum as quickly as possible

If it's a phishing site, you've probably already lost your funds, so post an update here.

Import your Multibit HD recovery seed into Electrum:

If you have an Electrum HD recovery phrase, select “I already have a seed”

After you enter the seed, click on options and check bip39.

Next, set the derivation path as m/0′


I truly appreciate you explaining this.  It appears I encountered a phishing website.  The wallets definitely weren't intended for me.  Someone sent me recovery phrases and a website address to supposedly recover their bitcoins.  Fortunately, I tested it on a computer that doesn't contain any sensitive data, so there shouldn't be any issues.

I enter my 18-word recovery phrase and password on the MultiBit.info website.
This pretty much compromised your entire wallet.
You've just pasted your recovery phrase into a phishing website; a sane wallet software wouldn't require you to paste your seed before you can download the wallet.
If there's any bitcoins in that recovery phrase and you did that hours ago, it would've been spent by now.

You should've downloaded the binaries from their official (deprecated) GitHub Repository: github.com/Multibit-Legacy/multibit-hd/releases

did you mean the multibit.info is a phishing website ?

I haven't used my MultiBit wallet in years. Now, when I try to access my Bitcoin, I run into some issues.

I enter my 18-word recovery phrase and password on the MultiBit.info website.
I download and install the MultiBit setup file.
The wallet starts syncing, but it gets stuck at 87% and won't progress for days.
Is there a way to access my Bitcoin??
