Recovery Phrase Converter

Recovery Phrase

You can enter an existing BIP39 recovery phrase, or generate a new random one.

Convert to private key Copy mnemonic

Typing your own words will probably not work how you expect, since the words require a particular structure (the last word contains a checksum).

Optional
Copy seed
Copy private key
Copy address

Derivation Path

Account extended keys

The account extended keys can be used for importing to most BIP44 compatible wallets, such as mycelium or electrum.

The BIP32 derivation path and extended keys are the basis for the derived addresses.

Use path m/0'/0' with hardened addresses.

For more info see the Bitcoin Core BIP32 implementation

Use path m/0'/0. For change addresses use path m/0'/1.

For more info see MultiBit HD

Use path m/44'/0'/0'. Only enter the xpub extended key into block explorer search fields, never the xprv key.

Can be used with: blockchain.info

Account extended keys

The account extended keys can be used for importing to most BIP49 compatible wallets.

The BIP32 derivation path and extended keys are the basis for the derived addresses.

Account extended keys

The account extended keys can be used for importing to most BIP84 compatible wallets.

The BIP32 derivation path and extended keys are the basis for the derived addresses.

Derived Addresses

Note these addresses are derived from the BIP32 Extended Key.

Entropy

Entropy values should not include the BIP39 checksum. This is automatically added by the tool.

Entropy values must be sourced from a strong source of randomness. This means flipping a fair coin, rolling a fair dice, noise measurements etc. Do NOT use phrases from books, lyrics from songs, your birthday or street address, keyboard mashing, or anything you think is random, because chances are overwhelming it isn't random enough for the needs of this tool.

Do not store entropy.

Storing entropy (such as keeping a deck of cards in a specific shuffled order) is unreliable compared to storing a recovery phrase. Instead of storing entropy, store the recovery phrase generated from the entropy. Steganography may be beneficial when storing the recovery phrase.

The random recovery phrase generator on this page uses a cryptographically secure random number generator. The built in random generator can generally be trusted more than your own intuition about randomness. If cryptographic randomness isn't available in your browser, this page will show a warning and the generate button will not work. In that case you might choose to use your own source of entropy.

You are not a good source of entropy.

Card entropy has been implemented assuming cards are replaced, not drawn one after another. A full deck with replacement generates 232 bits of entropy (21 words). A full deck without replacement generates 225 bits of entropy (21 words).
