If someone set a passphrase on a wallet but is not sure what it is (we have the mnemonic) What is the best way to go about trying to crack it?

I used https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover a while back. Does this person have any idea what the passphrase is?

This looks useful. 🙏

I'm going to have to play with this when I know for sure it's going to find something. Then I can try it again with a less certain test.

Smart.

Also, this is a good time to remind people to write down the master key fingerprint (XFP) when creating a wallet.

That is the one bright side. I have all the pubkeys so it should be a simple😃 matter of matching on that. No need to search for coins.

If it's a high entropy passphrase\password like I use, then you're fucked. It's just not doable.

But maybe they used some low entropy common passphrase\password. Then I think there are several online sites that will allow you to try and crack the passphrase\password.

But if they're like me. There isn't a snowball chance in hell of you cracking it..🧡👑

Passphrases can be pretty tough to Crack.

I know a guy who has about a 20% success rate with recovery. He might be able to help.
