FinderOuter Recovering BIP38 password without having the address

Since the BIP38 string already contains an address hash, recovering without the address itself is technically possible but it would add 1x Base58 encoding and 2x SHA256 hash and our IConverter implementations don't have that option yet. The encoding part has to be optimized otherwise the speed could decrease significantly.

This feature is postponed until there is either demand for it or version 1.0 is about to be released.

If you mean a damaged string (eg. missing some characters) there already is an option for it under Missing Base58.

There are exactly 58 characters in a BIP38 encrypted key string. Realistically you need to know at least 50 of them with the position of the remaining missing digits to be able to recover it.

Hello. You need to know something about the password to be able to recover it, at the very least the length of it.

If you have your private key just import it into a new wallet and you will recover your funds.
