# Import from seed phrase

### Supported seed phrase types <a href="#supported-seed-phrase-types" id="supported-seed-phrase-types"></a>

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      | Imported account type                                 |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| 12-word seed phrase   | Unified account                                       |
| 24-word seed phrase\* | <ul><li>Unified account</li><li>TON account</li></ul> |

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

**Trust Wallet, Safepal, and TON-native wallets** are among the wallets that are not compatible with SubWallet.
{% endhint %}

{% 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 you create a master password, you can follow the importing procedure provided in [If you are currently using SubWallet](https://docs.subwallet.app/main/extension-user-guide/account-management/import-accounts/import-from-seed-phrase#if-you-are-currently-using-subwallet), starting from **Step 3.**
