Export your backup information in different forms of backup files, and use these files to restore & import the account again if you so wish.
Depending on the type of account you want to export, SubWallet supports different export methods:
Unified account
Substrate account
EVM account
TON account
Cardano account
Ledger account
QR-signer account
(*): The exported JSON file cannot be imported into EVM-compatible wallets (Metamask, Phantom, Rabby, etc.) or Cardano-native wallets (Typhoon).
Step 1: Open the SubWallet extension and click on the account name to access the account selection tab.
In this example, we will export the backup information of "SubWallet Unified 01" - a unified account.
Step 3: In the Account details section, choose "Export".
Step 4: Enter your password.
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".
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.
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.
