Lost my 12 words recovery phrase

Hi everyone,

I lost my 12 words recovery phrase and somehow the Daedalus wallet won’t open again. I think it’s because I have an old version. Is there anyway to restore the wallet? I tried to look for secret.key file too, but unfortunately, I don’t think I created one. :((( The only thing I have is the paper wallet certificate. Please, someone help! :cry:

I restored my paper wallet in new version but it’s empty, so I believe I’ve sent everything to the other wallet.

Hello,

Sorry to hear this; Unfortunately all u can do for the moment is to try to think where did u stored the security phrase, maybe you wrote on a paper and u puted in a secure place…

I know IOHK working to a version which allow to restore your wallet from a previously version in case you lost the recovery phrase (based on secret.key file) … but for the moment is not available;

More details here

Goodluck,

I have similar problem on my Yoroi wallet. I have 12 words for pharases but yoroi want to me 15 words. Is there any solution ?

Hello,

If u have 12 seed words it means u have a Daedalus Byron wallet not Yoroi!
You can restore it in Yoroi by creating a new shelley Yoroi wallet and then restore the byron wallet inside

Cheers,

Hello Alex,

No im sure. My wallet was shelley and also now delegated at pool. I know if it was byron i cant stake

11

Right, but if it’s shelley then u should have :

  • 24 seed words Daedalus shelley wallet
  • 15 seed words Yoroi shelley wallet;
  • hw wallet and no seed words required;

Cheers,

You are right i think these words missing. Because i havent got any kind of different wallet. If i miss 3 words of that can i take my account back and How ?

13

I think will be very hard and will take time (anyway I can’t help u) to find the 3 missing words… because u don’t even know which are missing… from the beginnin, or from the end…

Hi, since you know your spending password, you can create a new wallet and then send your funds there. Best of luck.

Hi,

I have the same problem. I only have 12 words for the Yoroi wallet.
Because that’s all I got. The ADA is staked in the Yoroi wallet.
Did you find a solution to the problem?
