In Anchor I have an account. Both private keys do not start with 5 as my other accounts do. They start with “PVT_K1”. The number of characters is wrong as well. Anchor functions fine loaded as-is but when I tried to load this in mobile it did not like this key. I ended up using another account. Is this another (valid) format? I think I opened this account on Wombat, if that helps.

Yes, this is a bug I think on Anchor mobile PVT_K1 is a new format for keys thats backwards compatible with the old 5* format.@aaron can you confirm?
It is a valid format, one which we need to fully add support for in a future version.
The iOS version I believe already supports the new key format, but Desktop and potentially Android does not (would need to check on that).
With the ecosystem moving to the new format ever so slowly, we’ll try to get support for it soon
