I have xprv key from mycelium wallet exported. I am trying to recreate my 12 word seed. Is this possible?
Currently, Ethereum account doesn't have the "export account keys" option, just "archive" and "Reload account",
where'd got that xprv key?

Normally, that xprv can only be exported when you click on the Bitcoin HD account -> menu -> Export account keys.
And that's the "BIP32 Root key" for your Bitcoin addresses stat starts with '1'.

If you did exactly that ^ , then that backup if for your Bitcoin account with legacy addresses,
not for Ethereum, Bitcoin Native SegWit nor Bitcoin P2SH-SegWit.
You need Mycelium's "Master Seed" (12-word phrase) to restore it.
