You can just ignore the verify thing, it doesn't actually do anything, just checks if you've typed the same as what was shown to you. As long as you write down the key and store it safely you're good, you have your backup.

I'd imagine, though I haven't tried it, that in the same way, when attempting to recover a wallet by using the brainkey, it won't recognize the proper seed when it sees it.

@svk but you cant restore it using openledger.....probably a bug but when I try to restore using openledger on chrome n firefox I cannot type/paste the brainkey in the field.

Could it have something to do with uppercase vs lowercase words?

I noticed something similiar / maybe the same from another angle yesterday, while going over making sure all the brainkeys were correctly written down in my archives.

The archive matches the seed displayed by inputting the correct password in the wallet, however I cannot verify the brainkey, the button never becomes clickable, like it's still missing words.

I tried copy-pasting and just to be sure, also writing the words manually after visually comparing them (several times). It didn't work.

It still doesn't work. It appears that perhaps someone tried to fix it as the problem has changed. I can now type things into the box, (no errors) but when I click on the Create Wallet button on the bottom, nothing happens.  It would appear that whatever code that is supposed to enable that button is not tied into the brainkey verification properly.

To be clear - This is not a problem with the backend. I am not importing any keys or anything special.  I just cleared my cookies on firefox and it did not change anything. It accepts the brainkey and the text under it changes, but clicking on the button does not appear to start up the next step.
I speak for myself and only myself.

If you imported any 0.9.3c account in this wallet maybe you need a normal backup, If I remember corectly the brainkey doesn't work in this case.

Did deal with it some days ago. In firefox it does not verify brainkey too.

Brankey restoration worked for me only on chrome

When?  I would be willing to think I made a mistake, but it first failed on Chrome/linux. 

So I go to my Windows machine and get the same problem in both Firefox and Chrome.
