recover account from mnemonic

[Sovereignwelder]

Need the ability to recover account f from mnemonic. Should have a commonly used path as the default but the ability to change the path should also be available.

You can recover from mnemonic already.
Custom paths are not supported yet

How can I recover from the 12 words? The "Add your key" dialog only accepts "Nsec / private key" and not the 12 words (I tried).

[greenart7c3]

Add you key -> paste/write the 12 words separated by spaces

like this:

leader monkey parrot ring guide accident before fence cannon height naive bean

[schildbach]

I did exactly this, but it didn't accept the key. I double checked the words though. Maybe a word correction would be useful?

This is my mnenonic:

endorse bright differ slogan dry oil also oval soda exile worry service

Does it use BIP39 and it's checksum?

I'll build a better ui for recovering from seed words. Where did you generate those words?
Nostr uses nip 6 for generating seed words for the account

https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/06.md

[schildbach]

I got it from the app, but not in the "Add key" flow, but in the "Backup keys → Show seed words" dialog.

[greenart7c3]

I think i found the problem the words are out of order

[schildbach]

Do you mean the particular UI shows the words out of order, or did I write them down in the wrong oder? No worries about disclosing the seed, it's a throwaway seed for testing only.

When amber saved the seed it saved out of order
