Just  a warning multibit HD block me out  my access to my 24BTC that were stored there. Would not accept my password , would not restore wallet with passphrase , would not sync . Basically tried everything to get it back and spent a whole day , finally  i came across breadwallet on Android but my Android version on my mobile did not support so i had to purchase another phone had Android Nougat that did and manage to recover my btc via the seed. Never again! i cursed my associate for suggesting to use this bitcoinwallet and i curse you Multibit developer.
Now i am sticking to bitcoin core for life, its 122 GB of space but it least safe.

I am in the SAME situation !!!!!

I upgraded from Classic to HD and have been using for a month, first i lost 2FA as it disappeared of my mobile ?

I then continued to use without and recovered via seed.

I have just gone to access my wallet and it is stating my password is incorrect!!!! IT IS NOT !!!

I can NOT recover password via seed, it just 'hangs' on 'Restore Password Report' with 'working' below !!!!

If i try to recover wallet via seed it seems to be stuck on synchronizing with bitcoin network, which i have left for over half an hour....

Anyone help?

Cheers

Bread Wallet is syching on my iphone atm, plus Bitcoin Core on my lappy....3 years 21 weeks to go...lol

I have read a LOT of bad reviews and problems with Multibit HD, think i will stick to core and Electrum.

Probably use Electrum and a hardware wallet for main storage, then Bitcoin Core for mining payouts/smaller storage.

Not had  good read about it yet tbh.

What forms of protection does it have ? Eg Seed recovery, wallet password, encryption, 2FA etc.
