You can import it to Electrum or any wallet that supports the seed phrase and recover your old wallet.
Thanks very much for your responses!!
I downloaded Electrum.
And followed the steps to access via a seed phrase. However, something strange happened, which perhaps you can shed light on.
i opened standard wallet> i already have a seed>entered seed
I wrote my phrase, however....
i only got to 4 words plus the first letter of my 5th word.. for example:
the quick brown fox j
then the next button appeared ready to gain access to the wallet. is came up "standard" wallet.
so i hit next etc and i opened a wallet.
What is strange is that i only entered 5ish words.
there is no funds in the account, and i dont know of this is my account.
i tried the 2 factor authentication way as it was suggested this may find funds and it said the seed phrase is real, however you cant access via the 2 factor way.
so my thoughts are:
did i create a new wallet?
or is this someones wallet
is this my wallet.
when i search the wallet on an explorer there is no funds in it, but i would like to know if i have accessed a old wallet or if i have accidently created a new one.
werid it was only a few words too.
thanks so much
