Accidentally sent NEAR to the funding (initial) address. Can I recover it?

Please be informed that your new .near address has the same private key as the funding address. Thus you can easily recover your funding account and withdraw your tokens to the main wallet. 

 

To recover $NEAR sent to the funding address after you created the account, please follow the steps here.

 

This will load your funding address into the wallet. You can then select it by changing the account in the upper right corner and send the extra NEAR to your .near account.

    I recovered the funding address by using the recovery link in the email message I used to register the wallet the first time.

    email sent from

    wallet@near.org

    With title: 

    Important: Near Wallet Recovery Email for xxx.near

    look for the link Recover my Account at section 2 of the email body

    2. In the event that you need to recover your account, click the link below, and follow the directions in NEAR Wallet.

    Hope this can help someone.
