Additional Information:
I set up my Brave Wallet a long time ago and haven’t checked it for probably a year or more. When I recently tried to check it, it appears that I no longer had a Wallet connected to Brave. When I tried to recover my Brave Wallet, Brave doesn’t accept my 12 word pass phrase. I have a hard copy of my pass phrase so I know that it is correct. I’ve tried the recovery process numerous times but Brave says my pass phrase is not correct. I’m thinking that something has changed that I am not aware of that is creating this problem for me that’ related to my not using my Brave Wallet for a long time. I do have assets in this wallet that i don’t want to lose.
I’m not aware of the difference between a Sync phrase ad a Wallet seed phrase. When I created the Wallet, I only saw what I wrote down as a Brave Wallet Recovery Phrase and it consists of 12 words not 24 words. Its been awhile but I don’t recall a 24 word phrase being shown and I’m sure that If I’d seen such a phrase I would have hard copied it. Thx for the help…
@hendrix207 one is for sync and other is Wallet. So the sync phrase as they mentioned is for brave://sync/ which is how we share our bookmarks, passwords, etc with multiple profiles or devices. But Wallet is not one of the things synced. For example:
When I started with Brave, I recall having 2 wallets that interacted with it. The 1st wallet was (I thought) internal to Brave and it was set up with a 12 word recovery phrase. I bought BAT and sent it to the 1st wallet. The 2nd Wallet was on Gemini and I linked it to Brave so that BAT earned via using Brave could be sent to it. I’m trying to recover the 1st wallet and Brave keeps saying I have an invalid pass phrase for it.
Hello! Just to clarify, you shouldn’t need a space anymore with the current import screen. Using a space will add an extra character after each word.
Can you try entering each word in lowercase and using tab or your mouse to go to the next word. Avoid using spaces. Also, the recovery phrase needs to be entered in the same order as when it was backed up. It cannot be in any other order.
