- All processing happens directly in your browser - no data is sent to any server
- Your seed phrases, passwords, and wallet files never leave your device
- Uses industry-standard cryptographic libraries (CryptoJS, BIP39)
- No tracking or analytics
- Open-source code that can be audited
For maximum security, you can download this page and run it offline on an air-gapped computer.
This tool helps with common recovery scenarios. For complex situations or high-value wallets, you may need to consider:
- Professional wallet recovery services (always verify their reputation)
- More advanced brute-force tools that require technical knowledge
- Data recovery services if your wallet file is corrupted
Never share your complete seed phrase with anyone, even recovery services. Reputable services will have methods to help without needing your full sensitive information.
Enter any seed words you remember in their correct positions. Leave blank spaces for words you don't remember. The tool will analyze possible combinations based on what you provide.
Enter any details you remember about your password or PIN to get targeted recovery suggestions. The more information you provide, the better the results.
Upload your wallet file for analysis and recovery suggestions. The tool will examine the file structure and provide tailored recovery methods.

Use a standardized 12 or 24 word recovery phrase (mnemonic). Most modern wallets including hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor use this standard.
Recovery Tips: The word order matters. Words must be from the BIP39 word list. Check for typos or similar sounding words.
Use their own format of seed phrases that are not compatible with BIP39. Typically 12 words but can be longer for 2FA wallets.
Recovery Tips: Electrum seeds may include version numbers. Older versions used different seed formats.
Uses encrypted wallet.dat files rather than seed phrases. Requires the exact password used when encrypting the wallet.
Recovery Tips: Try all passwords you've used around the time of creation. Check for wallet backups that might be unencrypted.
Older method that generates keys directly from a memorized passphrase. Highly insecure and no longer recommended.
Recovery Tips: Try all variations of the passphrase you might have used, including common typos.
- Contextual Recall: Think about where you were and what you were doing when you created the wallet. What was happening in your life?
- Association: Did you associate the password with anything specific (favorite book, song lyrics, personal event)?
- Patterns: Did you use any patterns in your password (keyboard walks, alternating numbers/letters)?
- Variations: Try common variations of passwords you normally use (adding numbers, changing capitalization).
- Old Devices: Check old phones, computers, and storage devices you no longer use
- Cloud Storage: Search Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud for wallet files or seed phrase photos
- Email: Look for old emails to yourself with wallet information
- Paper Backups: Check safes, filing cabinets, books, and other places you might have written it down
- Photos: Look through old photos for pictures of seed phrases or wallet files
- Password Managers: Check if you stored the password in a manager like LastPass or 1Password
For high-value wallets or complex situations, consider professional recovery services. They have specialized tools and expertise but always verify their reputation and never share your full seed phrase.

- Security: They should never ask for your complete seed phrase or private keys
