16 word recovery phrase for blockchain wallet not working I downloaded my blockchain wallet but now i forget the password and my recovery phrase is 16 word, so I tried them but they are not working. Can somebody please help me?
Above answers regarding seedrecover.py and BIP39 are wrong.
Blockchain.info legacy wallets can use any number of words from 15 to 21 or more. The number of words changes depending on your password length.
The words are NOT a part of the BIP39 seed words and seedrecover.py will NOT be able to find the missing words as it is based on a completly different algorithm.
Blockchain.info used their own wordlist composed of over 50000 words not compatible with the BIP39 wordlist pre 2016. From 2016 they started to use 12 word seeds compatible with BIP39.
Your seed is either missing a word or you have entered a wrong word.
The seed does not contain your private key like the BIP39 seed words, instead it has your wallet ID to login to blockchain.com and your password. In rare instances the seed only contains your username and pass, that is if it was created pre 2013.
