Owner recover phrase creates different account #3584
Comments
just tried this and works perfectly for me. are you sure you typed the phrase correctly? could you include the version of parity that you are running (and were you running a different version when you first generated the account?) |
I am pretty sure i am typing it correctly, i've tried it over 15 times already with different methods - copy pasting whole phrase, pasting word by word, typing manually. I am using the Parity//v1.4.4, synced by using --warp and --pruning fast |
I broke it down with 3 screenshots, can you please take a look and see if i am doing something wrong? 1.https://i.gyazo.com/6a086691c6cee66bcbcb8155a7a5c7fe.png |
I am pretty confident that its not a human error, i can recover accounts that were created via "recover from phrase" by re-typing same phrase, but still cant recover any "new" accounts created manually. |
reopening after @3esmit confirms there's an issue lurking somewhere. |
what platform are you running on? |
Reproduced on Windows, culprit:
|
I was also using Win10 |
thanks for reporting - there will be fix allowing you to recover the original account from the phrase in 1.4.5. |
Nice!
Thank you for your time |
|
Nice. Thanks for the explanation |
my hardisk crashed after reinstalling windows unable to restore back my account with the phase key; it will create one with another address; any other information i need other then the phrase key? |
@brucelkp which parity version did you use to create that account? and which operating system did you use? |
When you create the new account with "new account manually" option, it shows the recovery phrase in the end.
However, you cannot recreate this initial account with this phrase, it will create a different account with the different address, which then could be recovered with that phrase.
