# 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:** On the SubWallet homepage, hit the account name at the top of the screen to access the account selection tab.
**Step 2**: In the account selection tab, hit the button at the bottom right corner of the screen.
**Step 3**: Choose "**Attach a watch-only account**".
**Step 4**: 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**".
**Step 5**: You will be redirected to the homepage. In this example, your watch-only account has been named "*SubWallet #1*".
