Hi!

Looks like I am stuck at the beginning. So I have created the 2fadisabled wallet, but when I am trying to open it with text editor the file looks like a mess and it does not have any "xprv" values in it. I do the cmd+F search and nothing pops up for xprv. I am using Mac OS HS and Electrum 3.0.3 Can anyone help, please?

Very strange, I don't really know how Mac works honestly, never had it but I guess it opens the files just like the .txt of Windows.
Btw, don't use CMD+F, just go on the very bottom of the text file, if you want PM me a screen of the very bottom of the txt obscuring the sensible datas, I can check

I will try to replicate it on Windows maybe. Electrum for Mac might create different wallet files or something. Honestly, there is no xprv in the file whatsoever - neither at the bottom nor at the top.
