2FA and multisig wallet not going through on Electrum recent update

[Charles-Tim]

Newbies, know that if you reveal your seed phrase to anyone, your wallet will be compromised and your coins will be stolen.

I created this on technical support if there is anything that I am getting wrong, but this is not the first time I am creating a multisig wallet.

I used two mobile phones, Electrum version 4.3.4 and the other with version 4.4.1
I also used laptop with version 4.4.1. But it was on laptop that I have created multisig wallet before, until today when I saw this issue.

Because of that, I tried this on Electrum 2FA wallet too. Same problem, just as with multisig wallet version 4.4.1.

The standard wallet is working perfectly fine. No problem.

The issue with 2FA and multisig on the latest version is that if you generate the seed phrase, or import 2FA or multisig seed phrase, the 'next' button is not working.

Like this:



That is a valid seed phrase which worked on version 4.3.4 (both on Android and Windows), but not working on version 4.4.1 and likely not working on version 4.4.0.

No problem while creating standard wallet, the problem is when you want to create a 2FA or multisig wallet.

No problem at all on version 4.3.4.

The last word of the seed phrase that is shown in your image should be clarify, not clarity. It seems that you made a typo.
That's a segwit seed phrase (standard, not 2FA) and I could generate a wallet successfully with that using version 4.4.1 on windows.

There is (was?) a bug: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/8368  with sending.
Also discussed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5450893

Not sure what else crept in on these last release.

But yes you can create a wallet when not using the word with a typo.

@Charles-Tim were you having another issue and were testing or was this something else?

Electrum has always been one of my favorite wallets as it was always very simple in terms of interface but since the last update on mobile it's really bad I can't look at it, I wonder why.  Unfortunately Electrum is not able to develop the most trivial things, as hosseinimr93 rightly pointed out you entered a word incorrectly but instead of being able to proceed and then warn that the seed is incorrect it doesn't really click the forward button and so one remains in the tail doubt to do, and this is a problem that Electrum should fix.  It's nonsense but it's always like this.

When something is absolutely free then you have to bear such limitations.

Electrum on my mobile got updated to Version 4.4.2 and APK Version 4.4.2.0.

The thing I don't like is you can send bitcoins only by scanning QR Code. I tried to find some solution to this and find out that its the only way in new version to send the coins.

You will not see the Next button available to use (Clickable) if you type one or some of your words inaccurately.

Any word at any position in the seed, if is typed inaccurately will disable the Next button.

In Electrum wallet, if you type a word, you will see potential correct word in the drop-down list in a light blue color. If you type it inaccurately but are not aware about that typo, and move to a next word, this drop-down list will no longer appear.

You can try to type "Clari" and you will see only "Clarify" in the drop-down list.
