So I’ve got a 24-word seed phrase from the legacy wallet. If I import without selecting the legacy wallet, I end up with the same accounts I do in metamask, xdefi and other wallets.
So I guess my question in is why are the other wallets, including the new Brave Wallet, handling the old seed phrase different? Is there anyway to convert it to a new format? Even if I do backup it says I’ll see 12 works, but I see the original 24.
Does this mean this legacy restore option will be available forever more?
Unfortunately there is no way to convert a legacy seed phrase. So we will continue to support it. You would have to send your funds to a non legacy address and then stop using the legacy one to get off of a legacy seed phrase.
but this was expected. Thank you for confirming.
