The service, Which I don't remember, provided the following: 

Wallet Name: (an alphanumeric username I created utilizing my last name)

Wallet Address: (a 34 character alphanumeric code consisting of lower and uppercase letters)

Wallet Key: A much longer code like the one above.

<p>Electrum wallet has a tool for importing funds. After you create a new wallet, you can click on Wallet -> Private keys -> Sweep. In the box that has opened, paste your private key and click on Sweep.</p>

<p>Don't forget to do the same with your Bitcoin Cash funds. Same process applies using Electron Cash wallet.</p>

<p>I created a Bitcoin account back in 2014, but my computer crashed a couple of year ago and I don't remember which firm or site I did it through. Not sure if that even matters. I do have the Wallet Name, Wallet Address and Wallet Key, but having difficulty using the data to access my old wallet in my new Coinbase acct. Please help! </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
