histallness Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 So I was keen to get my ripple to a desktop wallet and downloaded the Rippex desktop wallet. I was able to transfer the funds through to my wallet and it appeared there, however, I appeared to have made what seems to be a common newbie mistake and I didn't check where the default wallet was saving so when I tried to log back it would not work. When I created the desktop wallet I wrote down the secret key twice to confirm it was correct. So I thought this shouldn't be a problem i'll just use the key to get back in. But to my suprise the key will not work. It starts with s, has 29 characters to the sequence, I found a post elsewhere saying that there are certain alphanumeric characters that are considered "illegal" in a secret key and it did not have any of them. I'm at a loss as what I should do? This was the secret key that the Rippex desktop wallet displayed when I created the account there, checking the address on RPC tool provides these responses; https://ripple.com/build/ripple-info-tool/#rsTUsytsLBH6c5DCnQusEPqSTjNyo3ee8t However I'm not too familiar with the code behind it all so was hoping for some help! Was there some further activation that I should have undergone once I was first inside the wallet before exiting? Is there some way of recovering my funds with this key? All help appreciated!

Mercury Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 How did you try to get back in? Did you try 'import' new wallet and enter the secret key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
histallness Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Yes. Tried immediately after realising what was going on. The secret key that I wrote down twice, separately, and matched, does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
