At this time it is not possible to extract only 1 address' private key so the only option is to make use of the recovery seed to gain access to the address that has your OmniTokens. Extreme care should be taken to perform the following steps on an airgapped/offline machine to preserve the integrity of your recovery seed. You may even want to consider this method a fallback/last resort and after completing the recovery actions discard all addresses/wallets/accounts and start a new Blockchain.info wallet.You have been warned

  1. If you do not already have your Blockchain.info recovery seed/phrase you will need to login to your Blockchain.info account and navigate to the 'Security Center' and then click on the 'Phrase Backup' Option under Level 1 (Note: Once you backup the recovery phrase you will not be able to access it again.

  5. Count down the list of wallets starting with 0 for the first/'My Bitcoin Wallet' and when you reach the wallet that has the address make note of its number. This will be the account number for step 6.
