How SubWallet generates seed phrase for each account

When you create a new account on SubWallet, a 12-word phrase (also known as a seed phrase/recovery phrase) is generated. This phrase is essential for safeguarding your account and the assets held within the account.

Seed phrase is randomly generated and consists of a series of 12 words taken from the . With a 12-word seed phrase out of 2048 possible words, determining the right words in the right sequence is almost impossible

Create a new account after successfully installing SubWallet

Step 1: After installing the SubWallet extension, you will be directed to the Welcome screen on a new window. Click "Create a new account" to proceed.

Step 2: Make sure you read all the Terms of Use by clicking on the scroll-down button and agree with them by ticking the box beside "I understand and agree to the Terms of Use, which apply to my use of SubWallet and all of its feature".

Once done, click "Continue".

Step 3: Enter a strong password with at least 8 characters and tick "I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password".

Password should contain at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 number, and 1 special character.

Once done, click "Continue".

Step 4: Keep your seed phrase safe by tapping all the checkboxes to confirm you understand the importance of your seed phrase, then click "Continue".

Anyone with access to your seed phrase can gain control over your funds.

If, for instance, you forget your password, you will need your seed phrase to import the account again and set up a new password.

Step 5: Your seed phrase will be shown to you. Click "I have kept it somewhere safe" to proceed.

If you want to store seed your phrase, you can either:

  • Select "Copy to clipboard" to paste it, or

  • Choose "Download seed phrase" to save it as a file downloaded from your browser.

Step 6: Enter a name for your newly created account. Once done, click "Continue".

Step 7: Your account has been successfully set up. Click "Go to home" to get to the homepage.

Create a new account within SubWallet

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 "Create a new account". Then choose "Create with a new seed phrase".

Step 3: Keep your seed phrase in a safe place by clicking "Copy to clipboard" or "Download seed phrase". Then, click "I have kept it somewhere safe".

Step 4: Enter a name for your newly created account. Once done, click "Continue".

You will be redirected to the homepage, where you can see your newly created account.
