Where to find it

Welcome → Import wallet

How to do it

  1. Tap Import wallet. If you already use Oath, open Settings → Wallets → Import wallet.
  2. Enter the words in their original order, use Paste, or use the scan button for a compatible recovery QR.
  3. Review any word-count, unknown-word or checksum message. Correct the original phrase rather than guessing new words.
  4. Tap Import. On first setup, create and confirm your app passcode. Name and customize the wallet, then tap Continue.
