+Заголовок: Recover your safepal wallet using the browser extension
+Описание: Lost access to your SafePal wallet? This guide explains how to use the SafePal browser extension to recover your wallet using your secret recovery phrase. Follow step-by-step instructions to securely restore your funds and settings.
+Restore Access to Your Safepal Wallet Using the Browser Extension Recovery Method
+If you need to access your funds on a new computer or after reinstalling the extension, you can restore your SafePal wallet using your Secret Recovery Phrase. Open the SafePal browser extension and click the "Import Wallet" button on the login screen. This initiates the process of rebuilding your wallet's unique structure from your backup phrase.

+Carefully enter your 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase in the exact order it was generated. Double-check each word for spelling errors and ensure the sequence is perfect; a single mistake will create a completely different wallet address with zero balance. The extension allows you to paste the phrase, but typing it manually often reduces the risk of copy-paste errors capturing hidden characters.
-Safepal wallet recovery seed phrase extension compatibility
+After entering the phrase, set a new, strong password for this installation of the extension. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on this device. It is not stored on SafePal servers and cannot be used to recover your phrase if forgotten. Finally, confirm the recovery by re-checking the derived wallet address against one you have saved from your previous setup to ensure a perfect match before depositing or transacting.
-Safepal Wallet Recovery Seed Phrase Extension Compatibility and Setup Guide
+Preparing Your 12 or 24-Word Mnemonic Phrase
-Directly check the official Safepal documentation for the most current and accurate list of compatible extensions. The team maintains updated support pages detailing which third-party wallets and browser extensions can successfully import your 12 or 24-word Safepal recovery phrase. Relying on community forums or outdated guides can lead to lost funds.
+Locate your physical recovery sheet or the secure location where you stored your phrase. You must have the exact words in the correct order; even a single typo will prevent access.
-Your seed phrase functions as a universal key, but its use outside the Safepal ecosystem depends on specific derivation paths. While many wallets using the BIP39 standard are theoretically compatible, the exact path (like BIP44 or BIP84) must match. The Safepal hardware wallet typically uses standard paths, making recovery in software like Trust Wallet or MetaMask smoother. For software-generated Safepal wallets, always verify the path used during creation.
+Check each word carefully against the official [[https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt|BIP39 word list]]. This list contains 2048 specific English words; your phrase uses only words from this list. Verifying this eliminates simple spelling errors.
-Before attempting recovery anywhere, confirm the extension's reputation and security. Test the process with a minimal asset balance first. This verification step protects your entire portfolio from potential errors. If an extension doesn't immediately recognize your phrase, manual path selection is often available–enter the exact details from your original Safepal setup.
+Type the words into a simple text editor like Notepad first. Separate them with a single space–do not use commas or place them on new lines. This step lets you review the sequence calmly before entering it into the extension.
-Keep your phrase completely offline during this research. Legitimate extensions will never ask you to type it on a website. The process should always occur within the extension's own secure interface. For hardware wallet seeds, using a compatible extension adds flexibility, but the highest security remains with a new Safepal or similar hardware device.
+Ensure you are on a clean, private computer with no screen-recording software running. A compromised device could expose your phrase as you type it.
-Which BIP39 Seed Phrase Lengths Does Safepal Support for Restoration?
-You can restore a wallet in SafePal using a standard BIP39 seed phrase of 12, 15, 18, 21, or 24 words. The 12-word and 24-word lengths are by far the most common and recommended for optimal compatibility.
+Once confirmed, open the SafePal browser extension and click "Recover Wallet." You will paste or type your prepared phrase directly into the designated field. Having it ready in your text editor allows for a smooth, error-free copy-paste action.
+Installing the Official SafePal Browser Add-on
-During the recovery process, the app will ask you to select the correct phrase length. Choose the exact number of words your backup contains. If you enter a 24-word phrase but select the 12-word option, the restoration will fail because the derived cryptographic keys will be different.
+Download the SafePal extension only from the official Chrome Web Store or the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store. Avoid third-party websites to eliminate the risk of fraudulent software.
-SafePal also supports restoring seed phrases that include an optional BIP39 passphrase, often called a "25th word." This feature is available for all phrase lengths. You can add this extra passphrase in a dedicated field during the advanced setup stage of the recovery process.
+Open your browser's extension store and search for "[[https://safepal-wallet-app.cc/blog/backup-strategies.php|safepal wallet extension]] Wallet". Look for the developer named "SafePal" to confirm authenticity. Click the "Add to Chrome" or "Get" button to begin the installation.
-For security, always input your seed phrase in a private space and double-check the order of words. The software will not correct typos or suggest words during entry, so accuracy is key for successful wallet recovery.
+Your browser will request permission to add the extension. Select "Add extension" to proceed. A new icon will appear in your browser's toolbar, indicating the add-on is installed but not yet set up.
-Importing a 24-Word Seed from Other Wallets into Safepal Hardware and Software
-Yes, you can import your existing 24-word recovery phrase into both Safepal S1 hardware and the Safepal App software wallet. This process restores your complete wallet history and assets, letting you manage them through Safepal's interface.
+Click the new SafePal icon in your toolbar. A welcome screen will prompt you to either create a new wallet or connect an existing one. Since you are recovering, choose "Import Wallet".
-For the Safepal Hardware Wallet (S1), start the process directly on the device. Select "Hardware Wallet" in the app, then "Import Wallet," and choose "Recovery Phrase." The device will prompt you to enter the 24 words using its secure screen and buttons. This method keeps your seed phrase entirely offline, maintaining the hardware's security level.
+You will then be guided to enter your secret recovery phrase. Type the 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase exactly, with a single space between each word, into the designated field.
-Using the Safepal Software Wallet (the mobile app alone) involves a different path. Tap "Create Wallet," then "Import Wallet," and select "Mnemonic Phrase." Carefully type your 24 words in the correct order. Remember, this method creates a "hot" or software wallet, as the seed is stored on your internet-connected device.
+After submitting your phrase, create a strong password specifically for the browser extension. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on this device and is required for future access.
-A critical point is derivation path compatibility. Different wallets can use different paths to generate addresses. If your assets don't appear after import, use the "Custom Derivation Path" option in the Safepal App. Try the standard BIP44 path (e.g., m/44'/60'/0'/0 for Ethereum) commonly used by wallets like Ledger or Trezor. You may need to search for your old wallet's specific path setting.
+The final step involves confirming your recovery by re-entering the password. Once done, your wallet interface will load, showing your assets and transaction history. Your recovery is now complete.
+Initiating the "Import Wallet" Procedure
-Before importing, verify the origin of your seed phrase. Only import phrases from wallets you fully trust and control. Never enter a hardware wallet's seed phrase into a software wallet unless you are intentionally migrating and understand the security change. Once imported, your old wallet and the new Safepal wallet will control the same funds; using both simultaneously can lead to confusion.
+Open your browser and launch the SafePal extension. Look for the "Create Wallet" button on the main interface and click it.
-After a successful import, test the wallet. Send a small transaction to confirm you have full control over the addresses. This verification step ensures the import was accurate and your assets are accessible.
+A new screen will present two options. Here, you must select "I Already Have a Wallet". This choice directs you to the import function, rather than generating a new seed phrase.
-Adding a Passphrase (25th Word) to Your Safepal Seed During Setup
-Activate the "Advanced Options" toggle during the seed phrase backup process on your Safepal hardware wallet. This reveals the passphrase feature before you confirm your 24-word recovery phrase.
+You will then see several import methods. For standard recovery, choose "Mnemonic Phrase". The interface may also offer options for private key or Keystore import, but the mnemonic phrase is the most common.
-Select "BIP39 Passphrase" to enable it. Your passphrase is not a single word from a predefined list; it's a custom string you create with these rules:
+Before typing anything, prepare your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase in the correct order. Ensure you:
-It is case-sensitive. "MyPass" and "mypass" generate completely different wallets.
+Check each word for spelling errors.
-You can use any characters, including spaces and numbers.
+Verify the words are separated by a single space.
-There is no set length, but longer phrases are stronger.
+Have the phrase readily available to paste or type without interruption.
-Enter your chosen passphrase twice to confirm it. The wallet software does not display it again. Treat it with the same level of secrecy as your 24-word seed, but store it separately. Forgetting it means permanent loss of access to the funds in that hidden wallet.
+Carefully enter your words into the provided field. For added security, consider typing them manually instead of pasting. The extension will not display the words in clear text as you type them.
-Understand this critical point: entering a different passphrase with your same 24-word seed opens a entirely new, unique wallet. Your standard wallet (with no passphrase) and your hidden wallet (with a passphrase) are separate and do not share transaction history or balances.
+After entering the phrase, set a strong password for your extension wallet. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on this browser and device. You will need it to confirm transactions and access the wallet in the future.
-Write down your 24-word seed phrase and store it securely.
+Agree to the terms of service, then click the confirmation button to proceed. The extension will process your mnemonic phrase and restore your wallet's addresses and asset balance within a few moments.
-Write down your passphrase and store it in a different, secure location.
-Never store the seed and passphrase together. This defeats the security purpose.
+Entering and Verifying Your Secret Recovery Phrase
-After setup, you must enter this exact passphrase every time you want to access that specific hidden wallet. Accessing your standard wallet requires no passphrase.
+Prepare your 12 or 24-word phrase on paper before you begin. The browser extension will ask you to type it into a single field, separated by spaces.
-FAQ:
-I have a 12-word seed phrase from my old Trust Wallet. Can I import it into SafePal and then extend it to 24 words?
-No, you cannot extend an existing 12-word seed phrase to 24 words. The seed phrase is a direct representation of your private key. Changing its length creates a completely new and unrelated wallet. If you import your 12-word phrase into SafePal, it will successfully recover your original wallet and all its assets. However, the wallet will remain based on those 12 words. The option to "Create" a 24-word phrase in SafePal is only for generating a brand new wallet.
+Follow these steps for accuracy:
-My SafePal S1 hardware wallet generated a 24-word phrase. Can I recover it using only the first 12 words in a software wallet like MetaMask?
-Absolutely not. A 24-word recovery phrase is not an extension of a 12-word one; it is a different standard with significantly higher entropy. If you try to recover a 24-word SafePal wallet using only the first 12 words in any software, you will gain access to a different, empty wallet. You must use all 24 words in the exact order to recover your specific wallet and funds.
+Type each word in the exact order, using one space between them.
+Double-check for spelling errors. The extension might not recognize a misspelled word.
+Do not type any extra punctuation or capitals. Enter all words in lowercase.
-Are the 24-word seed phrases generated by the SafePal S1 hardware wallet compatible with other BIP39 wallets?
-Yes. The SafePal S1 hardware wallet follows the widely adopted BIP39 standard. Any 24-word seed phrase it generates is compatible with any other wallet software or hardware that also supports the BIP39 standard for 24-word phrases. This includes popular options like Ledger (via recovery phrase import), Trezor, Electrum, and most software wallets. Always verify the receiving address after recovery.
+After entering, the software will verify the phrase. A successful check typically leads directly to the next screen, where you set a new wallet password.
-I lost my SafePal S1 device but have my 24-word phrase. Can I buy a newer model like the S1 Pro or even a different brand's hardware wallet to recover my crypto?
-Yes, you can. Your crypto is secured by the 24-word seed phrase, not the physical device. You can recover your entire wallet on a new SafePal S1 Pro by selecting "Import Wallet" and entering your phrase. Furthermore, because SafePal uses the standard BIP39, you can also recover it on competing hardware wallets from Ledger or Trezor, or in a trusted software wallet, as long as they support 24-word BIP39 phrases.
+If you see an error message, review your entry against your written phrase. Common issues include:
-What happens if I try to import a 24-word phrase from a Ledger into my SafePal App? Will all my accounts and tokens appear?
-When you import a standard 24-word BIP39 phrase from a Ledger into the SafePal App, it will derive the same set of private keys and public addresses. Your main accounts (like Ethereum or Bitcoin) and their funds will appear. However, some custom derivation paths or accounts for specific Ledger Live features might not be discovered automatically. You may need to use the "Add Custom Token" function for some assets, but your core funds secured by that phrase will be fully accessible.
+A swapped word order (e.g., word 7 and word 8 are reversed).
+A simple typo in a word (e.g., "apple" vs. "appel").
+An incorrect word count (11 words instead of 12).
-I use a 12-word seed phrase with my Safepal wallet. Can I import it into a software wallet like MetaMask or Trust Wallet that might support 24-word phrases?
-Yes, you can. The Safepal hardware wallet generates a standard 12-word recovery phrase based on BIP39. Most modern software wallets, including MetaMask and Trust Wallet, are fully compatible with 12-word phrases. The number of words (12, 15, 18, or 24) is a parameter of the BIP39 standard, but the interoperability is maintained. When importing into a different wallet, you simply select the option to restore using a 12-word phrase. The wallet software will derive the same cryptographic keys from those words, granting you access to your assets. The critical point is to ensure you are importing into a genuine and secure application.
+Close the extension and restart the recovery process if you need a fresh start. Never share your phrase with the extension on a public or shared computer, and ensure no one can see your screen.
-My old wallet uses a 24-word seed. Will the Safepal S1 hardware wallet accept it during recovery, and are there any functional differences after import?
-The [[https://safepal-extension.cc/support.php|safepal supported extension]] S1 hardware wallet supports the recovery of 12, 18, and 24-word BIP39 mnemonic phrases. If your old wallet generated a standard 24-word phrase, you can restore it directly onto the Safepal device. During the setup, choose the "Recover Wallet" option and select "24 Words" when prompted. The device will process the phrase. After a successful import, there are no functional differences in managing your assets; you will have full access to all cryptocurrencies and tokens associated with that seed phrase on the supported blockchains. The wallet's interface and security features operate the same, regardless of the original phrase length.
+Once verified, your wallet access will be restored, and you can manage your assets through the Safepal browser interface.
-Reviews
+Setting a New Wallet Password for the Add-on
-**Female First Names :**
+Open your SafePal browser extension and click the 'Settings' icon, typically found in the top-right corner of the wallet interface.
-The compatibility list appears accurate based on my tests. Clearer distinction between official extensions and third-party tools would be helpful for user security. The version numbers for software wallets are a practical inclusion. More detail on the specific derivation path support would strengthen this guide.
+Select the 'Security' option from the menu. Here you will find the 'Change Password' function. The system will first ask for your current password to verify your identity. Enter it to proceed to the next step.
-LunaShadow
-My setup’s a mix of old and new hardware. I need to know which extensions truly work with Safepal's recovery process, without compromise. What’s your real-world experience? Which tools have you verified yourself, and would you trust them with your primary holdings?
+Create a password that is strong and unique. A good password combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using personal information or common words.
-Ava
-Hey everyone! So, I was setting up my new Safepal and got to the part about the recovery phrase. I’ve heard some wallets let you add extra words for more security, like a 13th or 25th word? I’m totally curious if Safepal plays nice with that kind of extension. Has anyone here actually tried it? I’d love to hear your real-life experience. Did it work smoothly when you restored? Or were there any little hiccups I should watch out for? I’m trying to make my setup as solid as possible, but I don’t want to mess anything up and find out later it’s not fully supported. Your personal stories would be a huge help! Also, if it does work, do you still use the standard 12-word backup it creates first, or does the whole process change? Thanks a bunch, you guys are the best for sharing!
+Do This
+Avoid This
-Liam Schmidt
+Use 12+ characters (e.g., `B1ue$ky@M0untain!`)
+Short, simple words (e.g., `password123`)
-Alright, who here has actually tried extending a seed phrase with a different wallet brand and didn't just read the support page? I'm staring at this 12-word list from my Safepal and the idea of punching it into some other app feels like inviting a disaster. Their whole thing is a proprietary chip, right? So how can we trust any software extension to interpret their seed generation correctly? Has anyone successfully recovered into, say, a Trust wallet or MetaMask without finding missing assets or permissions screwed up? Or did you just end up with an empty wallet and a cold sweat? I need real stories, not theory.
+Use a password manager to generate and store it.
+Reusing passwords from other websites or services.

-Ah, the pure joy. My heart swells at the thought of my secret, poetic seed phrase—a sonnet of 12 words holding my dreams—needing an "extension." Because nothing says "secure my life’s savings" like wondering if the magic list is compatible with the next software patch. Truly romantic, this constant technical courtship. I whisper my phrase to the moon, and then immediately check a GitHub compatibility chart, feeling the passion. It’s like a love letter that only works if you have the right brand of envelope. Fantastic. So my digital soulmate depends entirely on whether some developer remembered to add support. Charming. This is the modern equivalent of a locked diary that only opens with three specific, ever-updating keys. What a beautiful, fragile way to guard one’s fortune. It fills me with boundless, simple-hearted confidence.
+Confirm the new password carefully in the second input field.
+Writing the password down in an unsecured digital note.
-Isabella Rossi
-Girls, who else is terrified? My whole life's savings are on that little card. They said "write these words down, keep them safe." I did! Now I hear maybe those words aren't enough for new updates? Is this true? Are we being left behind with our old seed phrases? Does anyone know for SURE if what we have still works, or are they locking us out of our own money? I can't sleep.
+After entering and confirming your new password, click 'Confirm' or 'Save'. The extension will process the change. You will need to use this new password for all future logins to this specific wallet within the browser extension.
-Ironclad
+If you forget this password, you cannot recover it. You will need your 12 or 24-word mnemonic seed phrase to restore access and set a completely new password. Keep your seed phrase offline and never share it.
-So they wanna add more words to the seed phrase now? Great. Just what we needed—another thing to potentially screw up and lose everything. Who's actually tested this? Or is my money just the beta test?
+Confirming Successful Restoration and Accessing Funds
+Immediately check your wallet's dashboard for the correct total asset balance. A match with your expected holdings confirms the restoration worked.
+Next, send a tiny test transaction. Move a minimal amount of a cryptocurrency from your restored wallet to another address you control. This small action verifies your private keys are fully operational and you can sign transactions.
+Review your transaction history within the extension. Seeing your past sends and receives is a strong indicator that all blockchain data is correctly linked to your new installation.
+Confirm that every token you held appears in the asset list. Some lower-volume tokens might require you to manually 'Add Token' using their contract address, which you can find on a block explorer.
+Finally, ensure your security settings are active. Re-enable transaction signing protections and password prompts if they were reset during the restoration process. Your funds are now accessible and secure.
+Q&A:
+I lost my phone with the Safepal app. Can I get my crypto back using only the browser extension and my seed phrase?
+Yes, you can fully recover your wallet. The browser extension functions as a standalone wallet. Install the Safepal extension, click "Create Wallet," and select "I already have a wallet." You will be prompted to enter your 12 or 24-word mnemonic seed phrase. After entering it, you can set a new password for the extension. Your complete wallet, including all assets and transaction history across the supported blockchains, will be restored. Ensure you download the official extension from the Chrome Web Store or Safepal's website to avoid scams.
+During recovery in the extension, it asks for a "Wallet Name" and "Password." Are these the same as my old phone app?
+No, they are not connected. The "Wallet Name" you choose during recovery in the browser is only for labeling within this specific extension installation. The "Password" you set is also local and encrypts the extension's data on your computer. These do not need to match any settings from your lost or previous device. The only absolute requirement for recovery is the correct seed phrase. The name and password are new local security measures for your browser instance.
+After recovering my wallet via the extension, are my assets safe if I clear my browser cache?
+Your assets are on the blockchain, not in the cache. Clearing your browser cache or data will only remove the local wallet file from that computer, which is encrypted with your extension password. To access your funds again, you would simply need to re-import your seed phrase into the extension or any other compatible wallet. Your recovery seed phrase is the key. Always keep it secure and offline. The browser cache holds temporary data, not the actual cryptocurrency.
+I have my seed phrase, but the extension shows a different wallet address after recovery. Is this an error?
+This is likely not an error. First, confirm you are looking at the same blockchain network (e.g., Ethereum, BNB Chain) as before. Each network generates a unique receiving address from the same seed. Second, and most common, wallets use a "derivation path." The extension might use a standard path different from the phone app. Your assets are still accessible. Use the extension's internal "Discover" tab or connect to a decentralized app (like a swap service) where you can see your full balance. The displayed address may differ, but the wallet controlled by your seed phrase is the same.
