This document will show you how to create a new account on SubWallet.

Create a new account

If this is the first time you install SubWallet

Step 1: Open SubWallet's web dashboard, at the welcome page, choose "Create a new account".

Step 2: Create a password and click "Continue".

{% hint style="info" %} Please note that SubWallet is non-custodial, so you would be the only person who knows your password; we cannot help you restore your password once it is lost. Please make sure that your password is well-kept. {% endhint %}

Step 3: Keep your recovery phrase (also known as seed phrase or secret phrase) in a safe place.

This recovery phrase is as important as your private key; if someone has your recovery phrase, they will have full control of your account.

{% hint style="info" %} If, for instance, you forget your password, you will need your recovery phrase to import the account again and set up a new password. {% endhint %}

Step 4: Your account has been successfully set up. Click "Go to portfolio" to get to Homepage.

If you have already used SubWallet web dashboard before

Step 1: Open SubWallet homepage, and click on the account name to get to the account management screen.

Step 2: In the account management screen, click "Create new".

Then choose "Create with new seed phrase".

Step 3: Select type(s) of account you want to create. Then click "Confirm".

Step 4: Keep your recovery phrase (also known as seed phrase or secret phrase) in a safe place. Then, click on "I have saved it somewhere safe".

{% hint style="info" %} In the Homepage, if you click the account name, you will see your list of accounts. You can switch & select your accounts here. We also offer the "All accounts" mode in case you need a quick glance at your total assets. {% endhint %}

For each seed phrase created with SubWallet, you would have a Substrate account and an EVM account. Substrate account would display your assets on Substrate-native blockchains (such as Polkadot, Kusama, and Acala), while EVM account would display your assets on EVM chains (such as Moonbeam).
