# Import from seed phrase
Securely recover your account by importing it using a 12- or 24-word 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 | Corresponding imported account type |
| ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| 12-word seed phrase | Unified account |
| 15-word seed phrase1 | Unified account |
| 24-word seed phrase2 |
Unified account
TON account
|
*1** SubWallet only supports importing 15-word seed phrases from Cardano-native wallets (Yoroi, Typhoon, Lace, etc.). After importing, SubWallet will generate a unified account for you, ensuring that its Cardano address matches the address displayed from those native wallets.*
*2** If you import the seed phrase created from a non-native TON wallet into SubWallet, SubWallet will generate a unified account for you. If the 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.
