-
Give your account a name and set a password. This password will be used the next time you want to use the wallet or make important changes to your account.
- Rearrange the mnemonic phrases by clicking on them in the correct order to confirm your mnemonic seed.
To Import an Existing Account¶
If you have an account on the Fetch network, for example having had one already on the Fetch wallet and want to access it again, have an account on another wallet (e.g. Cosmostation, Keplr, ...) and wish to bring it to the Fetch wallet, or having created an address using one of our tools (e.g. the AEA framework), you can import it into the Fetch wallet:
- Select
Import existing account -
Enter your mnemonic seed (set of words) or private key (hexadecimal)
Warning
KEEP IT SAFE! Anyone with your mnemonic seed or private key can access your wallet and take your assets.
-
Give your account a name and set a password. This password will be used the next time you want to use the wallet or make important changes to your account.
To Use Ledger Hardware Wallet¶
If you have a Ledger hardware wallet and wish to keep your key and mnemonics on that device while using the Fetch wallet:
Info
Currently only ledger hardware wallets are supported.
- Select
Import ledger - Give your account a name and set a password. This password will be used the next time you want to use the wallet or make important changes to your account.

Warning
Please ensure you keep your mnemonic seed somewhere safe where others cannot access it. If you lose it, your wallet will be inaccessible once you log out. The password for your account should also be kept safe but is not necessary for recovery if you have your mnemonic seed.
Info
If you lose your password, you need to uninstall and re-install the Fetch wallet and select Import existing account. Then use the mnemonic seed for your account and choose a new password.
