Well, I DID have my private key.
This morning, I was reading online from 6 months back that someguy123 sold the domain and the database ended up (not his fault) seemingly unrecoverable. Lots of coins lost. I figured I had nothing to lose.
Well, I copied the private key I had, pasted it in a new wallet and yep, it worked!
So glad I copied that key when I opened the litevault wallet years ago!

vv81,
I am not sure if what I have is the private key or not, now that you mention it.
I will try to export to another recommended wallet and see.

o48o.
I am going to try today.
yeah, Litecoinvault was recommended years ago. Now, I see it is not longer listed on the litecoin.com page for web wallets.
The owner of Litevault was a senior member here. Wonder where he went...

Have you tried to import it? If you had, trying it out on another wallet will likely have similar results. I suggest you use Electrum-LTC to test it out.
I don't know much about Litecoin's private key characteristics. I have tried to generate a wallet on liteaddress.org, it seems there are four popular formats for LTC private keys, the examples are as follows:
Private Key WIF
51 characters base58, starts with a '6'
6vNaLdpupbtZc8YLnqsWhwpLArBtj7VCqubHCwoCzkiCQpAXvNp
Private Key WIF Compressed
52 characters base58, starts with a 'T'
T8aE9fYU96zav4HLMLhx7iwucU75JsdVGs8JXirwwuvqMfaS1XxQ
Private Key Hexadecimal Format (64 characters [0-9A-F]): A4BFB9504C0A839EC1D15493C34346E0119B679EB68B39367BC9F8A60C8933E0
Private Key Base64 (44 characters): pL+5UEwKg57B0VSTw0NG4BGbZ562izk2e8n4pgyJM+A=
Though, note that there are still other formats.
IIRC, I was helping someone to get back his account due to the loss of 2FA, but to no avail, he can't recover it.
Anyway, If I understand the code correctly, it seems the private key doesn't get exported, only the addresses and the shared key. But if you have the private key, I suggest you try to just import the key into a known Litecoin wallet, for example, the Electrum-LTC. If it is recognized, then it's good. If not, then you gotta find out what kind of file/key you currently had.

I tried replying to other related posts but could not. so here is a new topic.
Litevault is down or gone (or changed)
Anybody know how someone can retrieve coins assuming they have the private key?
Sorry for the newbie question.
Thanks!

Have you tried to import that privatekey to other native litecoin wallets? I haven't used litecoin in ages but i am guessing most of them have an option to import a private key like in every native crypto wallet out there. Litevault is down or gone (or changed)

Just remember use a wallet that litecoin community recommends so you don't get your wallet drained by some scam wallet.
