To recover from a 2FA wallet you need:

1. The 12 word recovery seed
or
2. The FULL wallet (not watching only) AND your Google Authenticator

If you don't have either of these things, then your coins are likely gone forever. Even if you manage to decrypt your xprv from your original wallet file, the 2FA wallet is a 2-of-3 MultiSig. Your wallet file has one key, your seed protects the 2nd (ie. it's not stored in the wallet file) and TrustedCoin have the 3rd.

So without the seed, you can't get the 2nd key... and unless you still have your Google Authenticator, you won't be able to utilise the 3rd... so, at best, you'll have 1 key... and you need at least 2. Undecided

Hi to all,
I have a big problem with an electrum wallet. I have a 2fa wallet that I used to use some time ago. I lost my seed (I know, it's one of the dumbest thing I've ever done) and I dont'have the original wallet but a restored one that is watching only. I can not use getseed() or getmasterprivate() since it prints "null" for both functions and in the restored_wallet.dat file the xprv is null and the seed field is not listed (only the seed_version which is 13).I have the original wallet.dat though, where there is the field master private key which is encrypted (it should be AES-256-CBC encrypted with my password but correct me if I'm wrong). My question is: is there a way to decrypt the private keys ( there are some + and a / between the strings, the entire master private key ends with a= which is a way to tell that's encrypted I read) knowing my password? Are those bitcoins forever gone Cry

?
I thank you in advance
