Securely recover your account by importing it using a 12- or 24-word seed phrase |
SubWallet currently supports seed phrases created from words in the BIP-39 wordlist. Supported seed phrase types include:
Seed phrase type | Corresponding imported account type |
---|---|
12-word seed phrase | Unified account |
24-word seed phrase* |
|
(*): If you import a seed phrase created from a non-native TON wallet into SubWallet, SubWallet will generate a unified account for you. If seed phrase is from a TON-native wallet, SubWallet will restore your existing TON account.
{% hint style="warning" %} If you import a seed phrase incompatible with SubWallet, you may be unable to import the account, or the imported account may not be the one you intended to import.
Trust Wallet, Safepal, and TON-native wallets are among the wallets that are not compatible with SubWallet. {% endhint %}
Step 1: Open the SubWallet extension and click on the account name to access the account selection tab.
Step 2: In the account selection tab, click the icon at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Choose "Import from seed phrase" as the chosen method to import your account.
Step 4: Enter your seed phrase by filling in the blank fields. Once done, click "Import account".
{% hint style="warning" %} When you import a seed phrase generated from a non-native TON wallet into SubWallet, a popup will appear informing you that this phrase is incompatible with TON-native wallets:
- Click "Import" to proceed.
- Click "Go back" to cancel the process.
Step 5: Enter a name for your newly imported account, then click "Confirm".
You've successfully imported your account into SubWallet!
Step 1: Open the SubWallet extension and choose "Import an account".
Step 2: Choose your preferred way to import account.
Step 3: Create a master password with at least 8 characters and tick "I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password".
{% hint style="warning" %} SubWallet is non-custodial, so you will be the only person who knows your password; we can't help you restore it once it is lost. Make sure that your password is well-kept. {% endhint %}
Once done, click "Continue".
Once you create a master password, you can follow the importing procedure provided in#if-you-are-currently-using-subwallet, starting from Step 3.
