I don't know if this means anything, but I feel I should mention it:
I contacted Alby support a couple of days ago to get instructions directly from them. They answered very quickly. Within an hour. I followed the instructions PRECISELY and kept hitting a wall regarding a recovery path. So I emailed again, thus:
"Please send me the correct Windows desktop installer (.exe) for the version that supports seed recovery."
Crickets for 24 hrs.
Does Alby not want me to recover my stuff?
