# Import from seed phrase

### Supported seed phrase types

SubWallet currently supports seed phrases created from words in the [BIP-39 wordlist](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt). Supported seed phrase types include:

| Seed phrase type        | Corresponding imported account type                   |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| 12-word seed phrase     | Unified account                                       |
| 15-word seed phrase\*   | Unified account                                       |
| 24-word seed phrase\*\* | <ul><li>Unified account</li><li>TON account</li></ul> |

*(\*): SubWallet only supports importing 15-word seed phrases from Cardano-native wallets (Yoroi, Typhoon, Lace, etc.). After importing, SubWallet will generate a unified account for you, ensuring that its Cardano address matches the address displayed from those native wallets.*

*(\*\*): If you import the seed phrase created from a non-native TON wallet into SubWallet, SubWallet will generate a unified account for you. If the seed phrase is from a TON-native wallet, SubWallet will restore your existing TON account.*

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you import a seed phrase incompatible with SubWallet, you may be unable to import the account, or the imported account may not be the one you intended to import.

**Safepal and TON-native wallets** are among the wallets that are not compatible with SubWallet.&#x20;

**Step 3:** Create a master password with at least 8 characters and tick "**I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password**".&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
SubWallet is non-custodial, so you will be the only person who knows your password; we can't help you restore it once it is lost. Make sure that your password is well-kept.
{% endhint %}

Once done, click "**Continue**".

Once you create a master password, you can follow the importing procedure provided in[#if-you-are-currently-using-subwallet](#if-you-are-currently-using-subwallet "mention"), starting from **Step 3.**
