Probably totally irrelevant, but I ran into a similar situation with Bitcoin QT.
Despite copying and pasting (versus manually typing) my private key passphrase every time, from a source document, I woke up one morning to a wallet that was rejecting that passphrase.
I had a lot. And I mean a lot ... of Bitcoins in that wallet. It was stored offline.
Different issue, but strange solution.
I went through every single character and tried its inverse. Like this:
Known and quadruple verified passphrase which was copied and pasted:
uPjKmN
Tried:
UPjKmN
then...
upjKmN
then...
uPjkmN
then...
uPjKmn
Switching the case of each character each time i re-tried.
and that worked.
It shouldn't have.
Immediately got rid of QT and put all my sh*t on paper wallets.
ummm... that's actually very similar to my passphrase. It was THAT simple, though much longer. And yes, it was over 100 BTC and they are not all mine. |

Is it possible passphrases are truncated at a certain length?

The code should deal with this fine, just out of interest was your passphrase longer than 32 characters/bytes? |

WHen I made my ironkeys with bip wallets on them, I put the setup file for the version of the browser I used as well. There were various reports as issues with that.

I am working with a professional to try to recover them. If I don't, then I think I am done with it. I've lost over half my bitcoins to key management problems. If all bitcoin is good for is to make paper wallets and store them in safes, then it isn't a useful technology.

Just run through the gambit of browser versions and types. You'll be fine. Keep calm and bitcoin on, sir  |
