MyEtherWallet / MyCrypto (Keystore JSON) Recovery

MEW / MyCrypto Keystore Recovery — Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a “keystore JSON”?

A password-encrypted JSON file (commonly named UTC--...) that contains your Ethereum private key encrypted with your password (PBKDF/Scrypt + AES). We attempt to recover the password—private keys stay encrypted until unlocked.

Can you help if I only have the seed phrase?

This page is for password-locked keystores. If you have a 12/24-word seed, you can usually import it directly into a wallet. If you’re unsure, mention it in the inquiry and we’ll advise.

Do you need my private key or seed phrase?

No. For assessment we only need the encrypted keystore JSON and your password hints. Never share your private key or seed phrase.

I have multiple UTC-- files. Which one?

Send them all. We’ll identify which keystore corresponds to the address you specify.

Is recovery guaranteed?

No. Success depends on password complexity and hint quality. We start with a free offline assessment and then provide realistic next steps.

Password Hints Guide (What Helps Most)

  • Length (exact or range): “8–10”, “12 exactly”.
  • Character sets: lower/UPPER, digits, symbols (which?).
  • Patterns: Word+year, capitalized word + 2 digits, starts with initials, ends with 88 or !, etc.
  • Words you reuse: names, brands, pets, places, fandoms.
  • Dates/numbers: birthdays, anniversaries; formats used (DDMMYYYY, YYYY, etc.).
  • Typical endings: !, !!, 123, 2020, etc.
  • Language/keyboard: non-English letters, QWERTZ/QWERTY habits, frequently used symbols.

Even small details can reduce the keyspace massively—saving time and improving success odds.

Independent Assessment: Please consider this as an independent assessment of your recovery problem. Submitting your case does not commit you to any service or payment.
