# Import from private key

### Supported account type <a href="#supported-account-type" id="supported-account-type"></a>

Currently, SubWallet allows you to use private key to import **solo accounts**:

| Solo account type | Private key compatibility                                                       |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| EVM account       | Can be used for EVM-compatible wallets (Metamask, Phantom, Rabby, etc.)         |
| TON account       | Can only be used within SubWallet (i.e., not compatible with any other wallets) |

{% 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.
