Copay accepts three base derivation paths:
* m/44'
* m/48' (only used for MULTISIGNATURE, HARDWARE Wallets)
* m/45' (deprecated and it is only supported for old wallets)
Both m/44 and m/48 follow the BIP44 standard:
m/XX'/<coin_type>'/<account'>
Supported cointypes are: 0: Livenet, and 1: Testnet
If you need to import a wallet from a mnemonic using an account different
from the default (0), use, for example:
m/44'/0'/11'
to import account 11.
In case you have a multisignature wallet originally created from a hardware device, and you had loose access to the device, you will need to enter the 24 mnemonic backup (from the device) and a path like:
m/48'/0'/8'
for a multisignature wallet, account 8.
Finally, note that TREZOR use 1-based account numbers, so if your are trying for example to recover TREZOR multisig account #8, you should enter `m/48'/0'/7'`.
