# Attach a watch-only account
This feature allows you to view an account you do not own (i.e., don't own any backup information) with SubWallet. All you need is an account address.
**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 right of the screen.
**Step 3**: Choose "**Attach watch-only account**".
**Step 3**: Enter the address (known as the public key) or the public QR code of the account you want to attach. If the address is valid, enter the name for that account, then click "**Attach watch-only account**".
