I recovered my wallet tonight w/my 12-word recovery phrase that previously never worked... the problem? My wallet was a "legacy wallet" and there's a different page for that.

Veni, Vidi, Vici
I think the passphrase is used in the generation of the private keys in your wallet, and potentially (if it is BIP39 etc) you can use them in another online wallet (such as Mycelium or Multibit etc) to retrieve your coins.

Yes it is correct, rather than dealing with blockchain.info, if you have the 12 words, try restoring them through electrum wallet.

1.Install electrum from here www.electrum.org
2.When asked to create a new wallet, choose I already have a seed option
3.Enter the 12 words, if they are correct you have all your coins back to you.


I have a bc.i and an electrum desktop 2.8.1. So I would like to ask, if you have test the process from bc.i to electrum creating a standard wallet only with the bc.i mnemonic seed. I have read from bc.i support here that their mnemonic phrase is compatible with wallets using bip44/bip39 and electrum is bip39. But practically speaking does the process work smoothly or do we need to use the bip39 tool following, according a 6 months old article, this procedure? Thank you

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Oh? So its really possible even you made those 12 passphrase from blockchain's or electrum then you can get the funds on those backup even you tried to recover it through different wallet services?  Don't know that it will works. Thanks for the information BTW.

Just so you know secret phrase and wallet mnemonic is not the same thing, so if you didn't set your secret phrase you should left that field blank.
Secret phrase is only used to reset your two-factor authentication - and it could be a word, string of words or basically any password set by you.





THank you for your info, can i log in my wallet during the pending time for approval because i did receive any timer count down notification email or any notification email when the request approved
 still not know about the ETA for the Approval

I need to reset 2FA in BLockchain,  i realized that their was a field named  " Secret Phrase:......- Enter your wallet Secret Phrase here if you have one set. If the Secret Phrase is correct, your request will be approved much quicker. If you don't know what this is, leave it blank."  https://screenshot.net/9voj7f0
So is that 12 words in the Recovery Backup Phrase in the wallet ?


Unfortunately i have confirmed that damn email with that field blank. Angry. Can i replace the old ticket with the new one (with updated 12 words in Secret Phrase ) to speed up the process?
How long does the approval for reset 2 FA take? ( i heard that it has been taking damn long time so far)

ANy one know that ? please tell me, thanks guys Undecided
