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?

Did you set a wallet password? It sounds like you're opening an encrypted file...

To successfully extract the X1 and X2 xprvs, your wallet file must not be encrypted, nor should the sensitive records be encrypted... The only way to achieve this is to NOT use a wallet password.

If you've already set a password, you can unset it by "changing the password" and just leaving the "new" password fields empty

Thank you! That was the problem. I suggest that you add it to the initial manual, because it can be confusing as the checkbox is automatically checked as "Encrypt wallet file" when one creates a new wallet.
