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.
The seed phrase is randomly generated and consists of a series of 12 words taken from the BIP-39 wordlist. With a 12-word seed phrase out of 2048 possible words, determining the right words in the correct sequence is almost impossible 😉
Step 1: After installing SubWallet, open the app and tap "Create a new account".
Step 2: Make sure you read all the Terms of Use by hitting 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 6 characters and tick "I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password". Once done, click "Continue".
Password should contain at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 number, and 1 special character.
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. Select "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 5: Verify the seed phrase by putting each word in the phrase in its right order. If all the words are in the right order, tap "Finish" to proceed.
Step 6: Enter a name for your newly created account. Once done, hit "Continue".
Step 7: Your account has been successfully set up. Tap "Go to home" to get to the homepage.
Step 1: Open the SubWallet app and tap on the account name to access the account selection tab.
Step 2: In the account selection tab, choose "Create a new account", then hit "Create with a new seed phrase".
Step 3: Keep your seed phrase in a safe place by hitting "Copy to clipboard" or "Download seed phrase". Then, tap "I have kept it somewhere safe".
Step 4: Verify the seed phrase by putting each word in the phrase in its right order. If all the words are in the right order, tap "Finish" to proceed.
Step 5: Enter a name for your newly created account. Once done, hit "Continue".
You will be redirected to the homepage, where you can see your newly created account.
For each seed phrase generated with the SubWallet extension, a unified account will be created and used to manage assets and make transactions across all ecosystems.
Note that in order to see your assets, you will need to manually enable the networks you want to use & have assets on.
