I'm trying to use btcrecover and running into issues. I write one word per line in a text file like this: ee tt But when I run btcrecover.py, I only get two combinations: ee and tt. I thought it should give me more like eett, ee, tt, and ttee. Am I missing something? Can anyone help?

Could you share the full command you’re using?

Sure, here it is: python btcrecover.py listpass passwordlist token.txt The token.txt contains: line1: ee line2: tt And I get only 2 combinations: ee tt I expected more combinations, especially with something like ee%3d, but I get this: * Security: Warning * Notice: Loading File: token.txt ee%3d Notice: Finished File: token.txt 1 password combinations I really don't get what's going wrong.

That's your problem right there. You’re using passwordlist instead of tokenlist. The passwordlist option treats each line as a complete password. Use tokenlist to generate combinations from those lines. Just a heads up.
