key-recovery-tool

A tool that tries to find a Hedera account based solely on the recovery phrases

Description

Hedera accounts have had multiple recovery phase schemes in the past, before settling down to the current 24-word BIP-39 based phrases.

This tool takes recovery phrases for as input from any of those formats, and attempts to recover the account.
