Recover Your Safepal Wallet Using the Browser Extension Step by Step
<br>If you need to restore access to your SafePal Wallet, the browser extension provides a direct path. Open the extension and click ‘Import Wallet’ on the login screen. You will then select your preferred recovery method: entering a Secret Recovery Phrase, importing a private key, or connecting a hardware device. This initial choice determines your next steps.<br>
<br>For most users, the 12 or 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase is the key. Carefully type each word in the exact order, with a single space between them. Double-check for typos; the system is case-insensitive, but accuracy is non-negotiable. After entering the phrase, you will set a new, strong password for the extension itself. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on this browser.<br>
<br>Once you confirm the password, your wallet interface will load with all your previous addresses and assets visible. The extension recreates your wallet from the blockchain data using your phrase. Take a moment to verify your transaction history and token list to ensure everything is correctly restored. Your recovery is now complete, and you can resume managing your funds.<br>
<br>To prevent future access issues, consider this a good moment to verify your phrase backup. Store it securely offline, and never share it digitally. The extension’s password is also important; you will need it for daily access. If you used a private key or hardware wallet for recovery, the same principles of security and verification apply to your restored wallet.<br>
Preparing Your 12-Word Mnemonic Phrase
<br>Locate your original recovery sheet or the secure note where you stored the phrase. You will need the exact 12 words in their correct sequence. If you have a 24-word phrase for Safepal, the process is identical; just ensure you have all 24 terms ready.<br>
<br>Verify the spelling of each word carefully. A single typo will prevent wallet access. The words are part of a standardized list; if a term looks misspelled, double-check your handwriting. For instance, confirm if it’s “woman” or “women,” “quite” or “quiet.”<br>
<br>Prepare a clean, private workspace. Close unnecessary browser tabs and applications to minimize the risk of screen recording malware. Ensure no one can see your screen or physically observe your recovery process.<br>
<br>Have your phrase ready before you open the Safepal extension. This limits the time the software is active and your phrase is in hand, reducing exposure. Follow this preparation checklist:<br>

DoDo Not
Use your physical backup.Type the phrase from a photo or digital file.
Work on a trusted, malware-free device.Use a public or shared computer.
Enter words in the exact order (1 to 12).Guess the order if unsure; find your correct backup.

<br>Proceed to open the Safepal extension only after these steps are complete. Click the “Import Wallet” or “Recover Wallet” button within the interface to begin entering your prepared phrase directly.<br>
Installing and Launching the SafePal Browser Extension
<br>Open your Chrome, Brave, or Edge browser and visit the official Chrome Web Store. Search for “SafePal Wallet Extension” to find the correct plugin. Confirm the developer is “SafePal” and select ‘Add to Chrome’ for installation. A quick browser restart might be needed to activate it.<br>
<br>Locate the SafePal icon, usually a puzzle piece, in your browser’s toolbar and click it. The extension window will open, presenting you with clear options. Choose ‘Create Wallet’ for a new setup or ‘Import Wallet’ if you are recovering an existing one using your Secret Recovery Phrase.<br>
<br>Before entering any sensitive information, double-check the URL in your address bar. Ensure you are on a legitimate website and that no other suspicious extensions are running. The SafePal interface will guide you through the remaining steps directly within the pop-up window.<br>
<br>Keep your Secret Recovery Phrase completely offline and never share it. The browser extension works independently from the SafePal hardware wallet, providing a separate but fully functional software wallet for your convenience.<br>
Navigating to the Wallet Recovery Interface
<br>Open your browser and launch the SafePal extension. Look for the profile icon or avatar in the top corner of the extension window and click on it.<br>
<br>A menu will appear. From this list, select the option labeled ‘Import Wallet’. This is the dedicated entry point for recovery, not to be confused with ‘Create Wallet’.<br>
<br>The extension will then present you with three import methods. For standard recovery using your Secret Recovery Phrase, you must choose the first option: ‘Phrase’. The other methods are for different backup types like private keys or Keystore files.<br>
<br>After clicking ‘Phrase’, you’ll see the final recovery interface. This is where you’ll enter your 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase. The screen typically provides clear fields for each word and allows you to set a new wallet password for the restored wallet.<br>
<br>Before you type your first word, double-check these two details in the interface:<br>

The network or derivation path is correct if you had customized it previously.
You have selected the right phrase length (12 or 24 words) using the provided toggle.

<br>You are now ready to enter your recovery phrase and proceed with the restoration steps.<br>
Entering and Confirming Your Secret Recovery Phrase
<br>Prepare your 12 or 24-word phrase on paper before you begin. Open the SafePal extension, select “Import Wallet,” and choose “Mnemonic Phrase.”<br>
<br>Type each word in the exact order, using one input field per word. Double-check spelling against your backup; the system will not recognize incorrect words. Avoid typing extra spaces or punctuation.<br>
<br>After entering all words, the “Confirm” button activates. Click it to proceed to the verification step. You will now see a second screen asking you to select specific words from your phrase, like the 3rd and 8th word.<br>
<br>This confirmation check ensures you recorded the phrase accurately. Select the requested words from the dropdown menus provided. Matching them correctly proves you have the right phrase and prevents import errors.<br>
<br>Once confirmed, you can set a new, strong wallet password for the extension. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on this device. Your recovery phrase remains the master key; this password is for daily access.<br>
<br>Complete the setup, and your wallet assets and history will appear. The process is complete once you see your dashboard. Store your recovery phrase securely offline once more.<br>
Setting a New Password for Your Restored Wallet
<br>Create a password that is long and unique, combining uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using personal information or common phrases.<br>
<br>Your new password protects only this specific wallet within the SafePal extension. It is separate from your Secret Recovery Phrase, which remains the master key for your funds across any wallet interface.<br>
<br>Type your chosen password carefully into both input fields to confirm it. Double-check for any typos before you proceed, as this will be required every time you access the extension.<br>
<br>Click ‘Confirm’ to finalize the process. You will then gain full access to your restored wallet’s dashboard, where you can view your assets and transaction history.<br>
<br>Consider using a reputable password manager to store this password securely. This helps you maintain strong, unique credentials without the risk of forgetting them.<br>
Verifying Successful Recovery and Accessing Funds
<br>Immediately check your wallet’s dashboard within the extension. A correct recovery shows your total portfolio balance, not just a zero balance with a populated list of assets.<br>
<br>Review the transaction history for a key asset, like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Seeing past inbound and outbound transfers confirms the wallet’s historical data loaded properly.<br>
<br>Perform a small test transaction before moving large amounts. Send a minimal quantity of a low-fee cryptocurrency (e.g., BNB or TRX) from your recovered wallet to another address you control. Successfully broadcasting this transaction is definitive proof of full access.<br>
<br>Verify token visibility. If you held custom tokens, ensure they appear. You might need to manually ‘Add Token’ using the correct contract address, which you can find on a block explorer like BscScan or Etherscan.<br>
<br>Cross-reference balances with a public block explorer. Copy your wallet’s public address and paste it into an explorer relevant to the blockchain. The balance shown there must match your extension’s display.<br>
<br>Once confirmed, your funds are ready. You can now swap tokens, stake assets, or connect to dApps directly from the SafePal extension interface, just as before.<br>
Q&A:
I lost my phone with the Safepal app. Can I get my crypto back using only the Chrome extension?
<br>Yes, you can fully recover your wallet using the Safepal extension. The process requires your secret recovery phrase (the 12, 18, or 24-word mnemonic phrase) that you wrote down when you first created your wallet. Install the Safepal extension, click “Import Wallet,” and carefully enter your phrase. This will rebuild your wallet, showing all your assets and transaction history. Your funds are stored on the blockchain, not on the lost phone, so recovery is possible as long as you have the phrase.<br>

<br><br>
Is it safe to type my recovery phrase on my computer for the extension?
<br>Using the extension on a personal, secure computer is generally safe. The phrase is processed locally and encrypted with your password. However, computer security is critical. Before you start, run a virus and malware scan. Make sure no screen-recording or keylogger software is active. Never recover your wallet on a public or shared computer. The extension method is a standard practice, but your computer’s security becomes the new layer protecting your phrase instead of your phone’s hardware.<br>
I have my phrase, but the extension says it’s invalid. What can I do?
<br>An “invalid phrase” error usually means a mistake in the word entry. First, verify the number of words. Confirm you’ve selected the correct option (12, 18, or 24 words) in the extension. Check each word for typos. The words must be from the official BIP39 word list and in the exact original sequence. Write the words down on paper and compare them to your backup slowly. If you used a passphrase (an extra 13th or 25th word), you must enter it in the designated field during the import process, not as part of the main word list.<br>
After recovering via extension, can I use the wallet on a new phone as well?
<br>Absolutely. Recovering via the extension does not limit you to one device. You can use your same recovery phrase to also import your wallet into the Safepal mobile app on your new phone. Your wallet exists on the blockchain, and the phrase is a key to access it from multiple interfaces. You will have the same wallet active on both the browser extension and the mobile app, and actions taken on one will reflect on the other since they are viewing the same blockchain addresses.<br>
I lost my phone with the Safepal app. Can I get my crypto back using only the Chrome extension and my seed phrase?
<br>Yes, you can fully recover your wallet using the Safepal extension and your 12 or 24-word mnemonic seed phrase. The process does not require your old device. First, install the Safepal extension from the official Chrome Web Store. Open it and select “Import Wallet.” Choose “Mnemonic Phrase” as your import method. Carefully enter your seed phrase in the correct order, paying close attention to spelling. You will then be prompted to set a new password for the extension wallet. This password encrypts your wallet data on that browser. After confirming, your wallet will be restored. All your assets and transaction history will appear because they are stored on the blockchain, not on your lost phone. For added security, consider using a hardware wallet like the Safepal S1 with the extension for future transactions.<br>
After recovering my wallet in the extension, some tokens aren’t showing. What’s wrong?
<br>The tokens likely exist but aren’t displayed by default. The extension may only show major tokens initially. To fix this, find the “Add Token” or “Custom Token” function within the extension’s asset page. You will need the contract address for the missing token. Get this address from a reliable source like the project’s official website or a blockchain explorer. Copy and paste the address into the field in your Safepal extension. The token’s symbol and decimals should auto-fill. Confirm the addition. The token balance should now be visible. This happens because the extension cannot track every token automatically; you sometimes must add them manually. Also, check that you are viewing the correct blockchain network (like BSC or Ethereum) that the token is built on.<br>
