PSA Your Old Blockchain.info wallets ARE recoverable

Bitcoin Reddit

More / Bitcoin Reddit 45 Views

A while ago I searched in my email and realized I had a email from Blockchain.info circa 2014. I ended up contacting Blockchain.info as the only info it had was a login link that no longer works. Blockchain info told me there is no way to recover it without my recovery seed.

I forgot about it and a while ago Gmail sent me a notification that an email was going to be closed because I hadn’t logged into it for a few years. Turns out I had use that email in 2014 to set up a Blockchain.info wallet and nothing else.

I again reached out to blockchain to make sure there was no way to recover it and again was told without my recovery seed there was nothing to be done.

I didn’t give up this time and found a Reddit thread from a few years ago that had the info I needed.

The email will have a URL similair to below

https://blockchain.info/wallet/1b729495-43e2-41c8-9cdc-00000000f

Everything after wallet/ is your username. You just need to guess/remember the password and login here

https://login.blockchain.com/beta/auth/login?product=wallet

But it gets worse!

That link above will save you a lot of time because on the main login page If you guess the wrong password it just says invalid login. However when you get the right password it will tell you to it’s invalid but “you should try our legacy site here”

Finally logging in on the legacy site(which I linked above) will work

Fuck you blockchain.info for not just having bad customer service but customer service so bad it will literally cost people money.

My 0.01 Bitcoin is safely back in a utxo I control the key to.

EDIT: After looking into it further, there no longer appears to be a legacy site and login on the main wallet page works as expected. Support will still tell you “ it is not possible to login with your recovery seed” which is false. You can login to any wallet ever created with blockchain.info, their support is just doesn’t know how to do their job which is a reflection on management.
