So, by passphrase you meant the password you need when spending the fund. If that's the case, seems that your seed phrase hasn't been extended by any passphrase.
The person who has access to your seed phrase is now able to spend the fund.
Now, let's go back to your question about 2FA.
If you lose 2FA, you can recover your wallet with your seed phrase.
In my opinion, I do not think jackg is right, or may I am the person that is wrong. Like I commented also above, the passphrase that I know are:
- The BIP38 passphrase needed to encrypt paper wallet
- The mnenomic passphrase which is also regarded as extended word
You are 100% right.
The problem is that a newbie may confuse password with passphrase.
Just read the last post of OP. He is saying that he enters the passphrase when he wants to send bitcoin.
OP hasn't used any passphrase when creating the wallet.
He has only encrypted the wallet file with a password. Now he is calling that password a passphrase.
@Charles-Tim @hosseinimr93 Ok, so luckily, I was able to transfer my bitcoins to a new electrum wallet that I created with a password and an extended mnemonic seedphrase. My question is this safe enough or would I have to create a new wallet with a password, extended mnemonic seedphrase AND also add 2FA?
@hosseinimr93 As for the passphrase that you mentioned, what do you mean exactly? is this different from the seed phrase and the password?
