Hello guys, i somehow lost the last 12th word of my metamask seed , i already used a script to find the missing word , the other 11 words are in the right order
but it found thousands of valid seeds.
I know my Ethereum address, is there a script or an easy solution to search through the valid seeds and to find my seed that contains my address and coins?
What script were you using?
I would recommend using the "seedrecover.py" script that comes with btcrecover (
https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover)
It supports Ethereum seeds (it even mentions Metamask) and it supports searching by an address... You'll need to have Python installed, then:
- Run seedrecover.py
- It'll prompt for a "wallet file", click "cancel".
- It'll prompt for wallet type, Select "Ethereum Standard BIP39/BIP44"
- It'll prompt for a "master public key", click "cancel"
- It'll prompt for an ethereum address, enter your address and click "OK"
- It'll prompt for the "Address Generation Limit", this is how many addresses it will generate using each valid seed. If you're sure the address you entered is one of the first addresses in your Metamask wallet, I'd recommend using 5 or 10... otherwise bump the number up (bigger limit = longer time)
- Finally, it'll prompt for your seed, enter the 11 words that you know and click "OK"
Wait a few minutes and it should find your seed.
