Restore Access to Your Safepal Wallet Using the Browser Extension Recovery Method

If you need to access your funds on a new device, you can restore your SafePal wallet directly in the browser extension. The process relies on your secret recovery phrase, the 12 or 24-word mnemonic you saved during the initial setup. Open the SafePal extension, click “I have a wallet,” and select “Import Wallet” to begin entering your words in the correct sequence.

Accuracy is your priority during this step. Double-check each word for spelling and order, as a single mistake will prevent access. The extension interface is designed to guide you clearly, asking for the phrase and your chosen wallet password. This password encrypts the wallet data locally on your browser, so create a new, strong one even if you recall your old password.

Once you submit the correct details, your wallet dashboard with balances and transaction history will load. This recovery confirms your assets live on the blockchain, not in the extension; the tool simply regenerates your keys. For ongoing security, consider connecting a SafePal hardware wallet to the extension for transaction signing, adding a physical layer of protection for your recovered funds.

Installing the SafePal Browser Extension for Wallet Recovery

Download the SafePal extension only from the official Chrome Web Store or the official SafePal website to avoid fake software. Visit the store, search for “SafePal Wallet,” and confirm the publisher is listed as “SafePal.”

Click “Add to Chrome” and confirm the installation in the dialog box that appears. A new icon will show up in your browser’s toolbar once the process finishes. Click this icon to launch the setup.

You will see two clear options: “Create Wallet” and “Import Wallet.” Since you are recovering access, select Import Wallet. This directs you to the method selection screen.

Prepare your recovery phrase (mnemonic phrase) or private key before continuing. The extension supports recovery via Mnemonic Phrase, Private Key, or a SafePal S1 Hardware Wallet connection. For a standard recovery, choose the mnemonic phrase option.

Enter your 12 or 24-word secret phrase in the exact order, with a single space between each word. Double-check for typos. Next, set a strong Wallet Password. This password encrypts your extension’s data locally; it is not stored on servers and cannot reset your recovery phrase.

After confirming the password, the extension loads your wallet and its associated assets. For added security, configure a separate Transaction Password when prompted. This step ensures approval is required for every outgoing transaction.

Your wallet is now active in the browser. Verify the public receiving addresses match those from your previous wallet setup to confirm the recovery was successful. The extension is ready to manage assets and connect to decentralized applications.

Finding Your 12 or 24-Word Secret Recovery Phrase

Your recovery phrase is the master key to your wallet. If you need to restore access, you must locate the exact words you wrote down during the initial setup of your SafePal hardware wallet.

Check these specific locations where you might have stored it:

The physical backup card that came with your SafePal hardware device.

A dedicated notebook you use for important passwords and keys.

A secure, fireproof document safe in your home.

Do not search for these words on your computer or phone. The phrase should never be stored digitally–no photos, text files, or cloud notes. This prevents remote theft by malware or hackers.

When you find your phrase, verify its order and completeness. A 12-word phrase contains 12 words. A 24-word phrase contains 24 words. Each word must be spelled correctly and placed in the exact sequence you received them.

Once you have the correct list, open the SafePal browser extension, click ‘Import Wallet,’ and select ‘Mnemonic Phrase.’ You can then carefully type or paste each word into the numbered fields to regain access to your assets.

Beginning the Restoration Process in the Extension

Open your browser and launch the SafePal extension. On the main interface, click the “Import Wallet” button. You will see three recovery methods; select “Mnemonic Phrase” or “Private Key” based on what you have available.

Type your 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase into the field. Enter each word in the correct sequence, separating them with a single space. Double-check for spelling errors–this step is critical. If you have a wallet password set during creation, you will enter it next.

For private key import, paste the entire key string into the designated area. Ensure no extra characters or spaces are copied. The extension will process this information and derive your wallet address.

After entering your credentials, you will be prompted to set a new extension password. This password protects access to the wallet within this browser. Choose a strong, unique password and confirm it.

The final screen will display your recovered wallet address. Verify that this address matches the one you owned before. Once confirmed, your asset balance and transaction history will load, completing the restoration.

Entering Your Mnemonic Phrase Securely

Always type your recovery phrase directly into the official SafePal browser extension interface. Never paste it from a text file, email, or note-taking app, as these actions can leave traces on your computer.

Disconnect your device from the internet before you begin the entry process. This creates an offline environment, preventing any potential malware from transmitting your phrase.

Close all other applications and browser tabs. This limits the activity of other programs and reduces the risk of a keylogger capturing your keystrokes.

Check your screen for overlays or recording software. Malicious programs can mimic the extension’s window to steal your data; ensure the browser address bar shows the correct extension ID.

Enter the words in the exact order they were given, using the provided number labels as your guide. Double-check each word for spelling errors before moving to the next field.

Once your wallet is restored and you are back online, clear your browser’s cache and recent history. This removes any temporary data that might have been stored during the recovery session.

Creating a New Wallet Password After Restoration

Immediately establish a completely new password for your restored wallet. The recovery phrase restores access to your blockchain assets, but the wallet password is a separate, local layer of security for your SafePal extension. This password encrypts the wallet data specifically on that browser.

Think of this new password as a fresh lock for your local vault. Since the old password was potentially compromised or forgotten, creating a strong, unique one now is your first security action. Use a minimum of 12 characters, mixing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Consider using a memorable passphrase–a sequence of random words–for better strength and recall. For example, “CactusTangoBatteryClip!” is long and complex yet easier to remember than a string of random characters. Avoid reusing passwords from other websites or services.

After setting the password, the extension will request it each time you access your wallet or confirm transactions. This ensures that even if someone gains physical access to your browser, they cannot move your funds without this key. Store this password securely, separate from your 12-word recovery phrase; a dedicated password manager is a reliable tool for this.

Finally, verify everything is working. Send a tiny test transaction to confirm you can sign and broadcast with the new password. Once confirmed, your restoration process is fully complete, with both your recovery phrase and local access secured anew.

Q&A:

I lost my phone with the SafePal app. Can I still recover my wallet using only the browser extension?

Yes, you can. The SafePal browser extension is a standalone wallet. To recover, install the extension and click “Import Wallet.” You will need your secret recovery phrase (the 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase) that you wrote down when you first created your wallet. Enter the phrase in the correct order. The extension will then restore full access to your wallet addresses and funds. You do not need the original phone or app.

What’s the exact step-by-step process to import my seed phrase into the SafePal extension?

First, install the SafePal extension from the official Chrome Web Store. Open it and select “Import Wallet.” Choose the type of phrase you have (12 or 24 words). Carefully type your words in the numbered boxes, in the exact original order. Double-check spelling. Set a strong password for the extension’s local encryption. This password protects access to the extension on your browser. After confirming, your wallet dashboard will load, showing your balances.

Is it safe to type my recovery phrase into the browser extension? Could it be stolen?

The SafePal extension is designed to keep your phrase secure on your device. It processes the phrase locally and never transmits it over the internet. However, your computer’s security is critical. Ensure you are using the genuine extension, check for malware on your PC, and never enter your phrase on any website, only directly into the extension window. The extension password adds another layer of protection for that specific browser.

I’m getting an “Invalid phrase” error. What are the most common causes?

This error usually means the words don’t match the official BIP39 word list. Check for typos, extra spaces, or incorrect word order. Ensure you are using the correct phrase length (12 or 24 words). If you added an extra passphrase (13th or 25th word), you must select that option during import. Also, verify you are using the correct phrase for the wallet you intend to recover; a phrase generates a unique wallet.

After recovering in the extension, can I connect back to the mobile app?

Yes. The recovery phrase gives you access to the wallet account on any compatible platform. Once recovered in the extension, you can install the SafePal app on a new phone and use the same phrase to import the wallet there. You will then have access on both devices. They are synchronized because they control the same blockchain addresses using the same private keys derived from the shared phrase.
