1  Bitcoin / Electrum / [HELP] Restore 2fa from master_private_key or find seed on: March 29, 2017, 06:35:45 AM
Hi to all,
I have a huge problem. I lost my 24 words seed of a 2fa wallet and after a full wipe of my phone I lost Google Authenticator code too and I cannot backup it.
I tried to retrieve the seed from the wallet file but there is only 'seed_version:11', there isn't the encrypted seed. I tried recovering using the console command wallet.get_seed(), I even tried to move the wallet file to Debian and use the 'electrum getseed' command without result. I'm quite sure the wallet file is not corrupted because I can access it.
After googling I found that I could be able to restore a 2fa wallet by the master_private_key. I tried it (the key was encoded, so I decrypted it from the console) but when I try to restore a 2fa Electrum asks me only for the seed.
If anyone has any suggestion I would be really grateful.


P.S. If this post is in the wrong section, feel free to move it (I wrote it here because most of the help questions I found are in this section)
