What can I do with my near account?
By 0x0002, history, 5 months ago, In English

I have some problem with my near account. I didn't copy my Private Key or Seed Phrase and now I can't login. Is there any solution or who do I need to find for help? Thanks.

Without 12 word Seed Phrase you can do nothing:(

I have my seed phrase, but when I try to import my account to My Near Wallet, it asks me for a password(Which I don't remember).

    So I think it is important to add a option to Recovery Password.

    Are you sure it's asking for your existing password, and not to set a new password?

    A concept of a password is specific to MyNearWallet, and they ask you to set one up the first time you recover.

    If it indeed asks you for an existing one, and you don't remember it, try recovering into Meteor Wallet instead (https://wallet.meteorwallet.app/add_wallet/import_wallet)

      Old crowdforces had 24 word seed, but restoration functionality was removed from the web wallet, it only accepts 12 word seed. How to restore? Neither mynearwallet nor meteor wallet support it.

        What happens if you enter all 24 words into either?

        I'd expect both of them to use a relatively standard JavaScript library, that accepts both.

        If neither accepts it, you'd need to go through some hoops to reinstate it. Feel free to ping me in DMs, or if the account doesn't have any assets on it, just create a new one.

If you don't remember you seed phrase, your account is effectively gone.

If someone could have helped you to recover it, that would violate the fundamental premise of blockchain.

You can always create a new account, for example using MyNearWallet, though you'd need someone to send you some trivial amount of NEAR if you want to use it for anything (you can ping me in the DMs when you create it, and I can send you some small amount)
