How to Restore Using "Custom" Secret Key?

[Diamond39]

Hi I have an old ripple wallet that was created on Ripple Trade or Ripple Client platform some years ago and having difficulty importing it into XUMM wallet.

I believe the issue is that the Secret Key is a CUSTOM secret key and does not start with the typical "s". Because its a custom secret key (meaning I created the secret key) is there a specific way to restore the wallet?

I have all the information below:

Secret Key
Wallet Name
Ripple Address
Pass Phrase

How many characters long is the key? Does it start with a p?

Is it hexadecimal (all letters consisting of 0-9 or a-f)?

Is it xrp's base 58 character set?

Did you try adding an s in front?

Custom could mean anything

I have two addresses. The custom key or secret key is 25 characters long for one and the other one is 28 characters long.
The 25 character one looks similar to: $hRc4Wj7S#qOx2EW&b5332P*!

(Below is example but not real)
Secret Key: $hRc4Wj7S#qOx2EW&b5332P*!
Wallet Name: Richard008
Ripple Address: r*********************************
Pass Phrase: $yUv0Wp$W#kLm3QW@*n9845*

You can only import a family seed (s...), mnemonic, Secret Numbers or HEX private key into XUMM.

Looks like what you have is specific to Ripple Trade (or what you used to generate). Usually, tools using a custom scheme allow you to export the family seed somewhere, once imported. If it's Ripple Trade, you may be able to recover using an old version of the tool (still available) and export the family seed after:

Hi Wietse,

I have the same issue a Diamond39. I went to the Github directory but I do not know how to install this.

Please advise?

Sorry, I have no experience with Ripple Trade myself. Maybe someone else here does and can chime in?

Hi there, I am trying to access my SGB tokens, I can see them on the XRPSCAN but I hold my xrp on Safepal and they don't support the Songbird network yet. Is there a way to export my xrp private key from my seed phrase?

If you have the 12 or 24 word seed phrase from Safepal try downloading the Bifrost Wallet and say you have an existing wallet instead of creating a new one. Then use your recovery phrase to import it.

Thanks, I will try that.
