I have a private key from the Atomic wallet. How can I access my account through a private key? (No mnemonic phrase). There are no wallets where you can import a private key?
Can you generate new EMPTY algorand account in atomic wallet, and share with us the private key and public algorand addres of this account?
It will show us the form of the private key you want to be able to convert to standard mnemnoic that you can import to any wallet.

I concur with @scholtz.
But I insist on NEW and EMPTY wallet.
Once generated remove the wallet to not be tempted to use it.

I do not have access to the atomic vallet on which the algorand address was created. I only have a private key. How can you send a transaction with only a private key?
Most cryptocurrencies have an option in the wallet to import both a memo and a private key. why does not Algorand have?
The official Algorand Wallet does not support importing a private key.
Command line tools do.

In Algorand Node Windows, this command works(algokey export -f key) and this one($ echo -n 37058964e07078cfb758d392b52be782e96db1bbfd14720f105f25ef29ac8adb | xxd -r -p > key) does not.
The above commands are for a Linux-based command line.
One solution is to install Ubuntu via WSL 2:
Another is to install the Algorand software on Windows and find the equivalent commands.
