Title: wallet recovery
Post by: yvv on November 25, 2015, 01:40:07 am

So, I made a back up of my wallet on different devices, but how do I prepare for loss of them? I saved a brain key, tried to recover my wallet using this brain key, it worked. Do I also need to save "active" and "owner" private keys on paper? How do I use them to access to my account in case of loss of wallet file?

All you really need is the owner and the active (and maybe also the memo) private key for your account ..

You can later simply import them in the wallet management console -> import keys tools

yes ..

private keys are derived from the brain key UNLESS you have them imported manually!
