# 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 | Imported account type |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| 12-word seed phrase | Unified account |
| 24-word seed phrase\* |
Unified account
TON account
|
*(\*): 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 %}
### **Import your account via seed phrase**
#### **If you are currently using SubWallet**
**Step 1**: On the SubWallet homepage, hit the account name to access the account selection tab.
**Step 2**: In the account selection tab, press the icon at the bottom of the screen.
**Step 3**: Choose "**Import from seed phrase**" as the chosen method to import your account.
**Step 4**: Enter your seed phrase by filling in the blank fields. Once done, hit "**Import account**".
{% hint style="warning" %}
When you import a seed phrase generated from a non-native TON wallet into SubWallet, a popup will appear informing you that this phrase is incompatible with TON-native wallets:
* Click "**Import**" to proceed.
* Click "**Go back**" to cancel the process.
{% endhint %}
**Step 5**: Enter a name for your newly imported account, then hit "**Confirm**".
You've successfully imported your account into SubWallet!
#### **If you have not had any accounts with SubWallet**
**Step 1**: Open the SubWallet app. On the welcome screen, choose "**Import an account**".
**Step 2**: Choose "**Import from seed phrase**" to import account.
**Step 3:** Create a master password with at least 6 characters and tick "**I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password**". Once done, hit "**Continue**".
{% 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.**
