Hello Electrum people Smiley

I restored seed of my electrum wallet due to 2FA lost

I have tried to set up 2FA again but it says that "is impossible due this wallet is a restored one"

So, am i not able to use 2fa again?

I don't use 2fa, so can't say what is a perfect solution for this but a workaround is, if it is not letting you set up 2fa on this wallet, then just make a new wallet with 2fa and transfer your coins there.

Note: Do keep backup of the old wallet and the seed in case you need it in future. You can find your wallet file here:

Do you still have access to your seed and password ? The wallet is restored as in,is it a new wallet or you have already lost 2fa and you tried restoring it ? If that's the case then,your wallet was not really 2FA anymore.Getting a new wallet would have been a good idea.
