Create a master password

Streamlining the log-in process just by creating a master password.

At the start of your journey with us, we always ask you to create a master password.

Step 1: Open the SubWallet Web dashboard and select any method you want in order to set up your wallet.

Step 2: Make sure you read all the Terms of Use by clicking on the scroll-down button and agree with the Terms of Use 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".

If you want to set up your wallet with the "Create a new account" and "Import an account" options, skip Step 3 and go straight to Step 4.

Step 3: After clicking "Continue", you will need to perform this step if you choose one of the following methods from Step 1:

  • Connect wallet

  • Attach an account

  • Add watch-only wallet

Depending on the method you choose, read the guide in the appropriate tab to suit your needs:

Select the wallet you want to connect.

Currently, SubWallet supports connecting extension accounts from 3 wallets:

  • SubWallet

  • Talisman

  • Polkadot{.js}

After selecting your wallet, head over to Step 4.

Step 4: Enter a strong password with at least 8 characters and tick "I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password".

Password should contain at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 number, and 1 special character.

Once done, hit "Continue".

You've successfully created a master password in SubWallet! Now, you have the power to manage multiple accounts with just one master password effortlessly.

Depending on the option you chose in Step 1, read the corresponding guide after creating a master password to complete the setup:

  • If you chose "Create a new account", read this guide.

  • If you chose "Import an account", read this guide.

  • If you chose "Attach an account" and did not choose "Attach watch-only account", read this guide.

Once applied, you can also change your password if you so wish. Please note that you will need your current password to confirm the change.

In order to change your password, you would need to remember your old password. This function cannot help you if you forget your password and want to restore it.

If you forgot or lost your password, you would need to import the account again via seed phrase, JSON file, private key, or QR code, and then set up a new password.

Last but not least, the password would allow you to lock & unlock your wallet if you so wish.
