### Export & backup an account
**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 on the right-hand side of the account you wish to export.
*In this example, we will export the backup information of "Andy T" - a unified account.*
**Step 3**: In the Account details section, choose "**Export**".
**Step 4**: Enter your password.
{% hint style="info" %}
You will notice that even if you correctly enter your password, the "**Confirm**" button is still unavailable. You would need to choose your preferred form of export file to continue.
{% endhint %}
As "SubWallet Unified 01" is a unified account, there are 2 options to export the account, as listed in the table above.
**Step 5**: Choose your preferred way(s) to export your account. Then, click "**Confirm**".
{% hint style="warning" %}
Please save and keep your backup files secure.
Furthermore, you will need these backup files to restore your account in case you forget your SubWallet password.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Don't share your seed phrase with anyone, including us.**
SubWallet is non-custodial, which means we don't store any of your backup information to ensure user privacy and security.
{% endhint %}
### Export multiple accounts
{% hint style="info" %}
This feature allows you to export backup information of multiple accounts (no matter its account type) in **one JSON file**.
{% endhint %}
*In this example, we will export multiple accounts on the SubWallet extension on the Chrome browser.*
**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 on the export icon at the top right of the screen.
**Step 3**: In the Export account screen, select as many accounts to export as you wish.
*In this example, we want to export 3 accounts. Once done, click on the "**Export 3 accounts**" button.*
**Step 4**: Enter your password to confirm, then click "**Submit**" to proceed.
Once clicked, the Chrome browser will download a JSON file. Click **Ctrl + J** to locate the file.
**Step 5**: You have successfully exported multiple accounts! Click "**Finish**" to return to the homepage.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to import these accounts to use them on other devices and browsers, you can import the JSON file downloaded from **Step 4** using this [guide](/main/extension-user-guide/account-management/import-accounts/import-from-json-file.md).
