ELECTRUM WALLET - 2 FACTOR AUTHENTICATION LOST

[coiny1994]

Hi Guys,

I have a number of bitcoin saved on my desktop electrum wallet. I have just ordered a nano ledger 2 and have tried sending the bitcoin to this device. When i try to send it however I enter my password successfully (1 signature) however it says 2 factor authentication is set up and however on my iPhone there is no "electrum" two factor authenticator to use for the 2nd signature. How can I go about getting this 2 factor authenticator set up or restoring using my seed to disable 2 factor authentication ?

THANKS

Didn't you setup any OTP 2FA while creating your wallet?

Do you still have your seed? If so, just go create a new wallet -> Standard wallet -> I already have a seed -> Put your seed and Electrum will automatically identify that this is a 2FA wallet. You now will be able to send your coins to a new wallet.

Or choose Wallet with two-factor authentication -> I already have a seed -> do the same as above.

One minor addition to TryNinja's instructions... (assuming you have your 2FA seed phrase written down):

When it asks is you want to "Keep or Disable" 2FA... select "Disable"... that way you'll get two master private keys restored to your wallet, and you'll be able to send without using TrustedCoin's 2FA system.
