Заголовок: Safepal wallet extension setup guide and recovery steps
Описание: Learn how to install the safepal wallet app Wallet browser extension and configure it securely. This guide details the setup process and provides clear instructions for wallet recovery using your secret backup phrase.
Setup Your Safepal Wallet Extension and Recover Access If Needed
<br>Install the Safepal Wallet Extension directly from the official Chrome Web Store or the official Safepal website. This step protects you from fraudulent copies designed to steal your recovery phrase. Once added to your browser, click the extension icon to launch the wallet and select ‘Create Wallet’.<br>
<br>Your screen will display a unique 12-word mnemonic phrase. Write each word down in the exact order shown on a physical piece of paper. Do not save this phrase digitally–avoid screenshots, text files, or cloud notes. Confirm your backup by correctly selecting the words in a quick verification test. This phrase is the absolute key to your funds; the wallet cannot restore access without it.<br>
<br>After securing your phrase, you will set a strong password for the extension itself. This password encrypts your wallet’s data locally on your device, adding a daily-use security layer. Remember, this password alone cannot recover your wallet if you lose the device; only your handwritten 12 words can do that.<br>
<br>Should you need to restore your wallet on a new device or browser, open the Safepal Extension and click ‘Import Wallet’. Carefully enter your 12-word phrase, ensuring each word is spelled correctly and in the proper sequence. After submitting the phrase, set a new local password. Your complete balance and transaction history will appear, fully synchronized from the blockchain.<br>
<br>For added security, connect your Safepal hardware wallet to the extension. This pairing lets you approve transactions with a physical button press, keeping your private keys offline. Manage tokens, explore decentralized applications, and swap assets directly within the extension’s clean interface, knowing your setup rests on a foundation of proper initial steps.<br>
Installing the Extension and Creating a New Wallet
<br>Visit the official Chrome Web Store and search for “SafePal”. Select the extension from SafePal Co. Ltd. and click Add to Chrome to install it.<br>
<br>After installation, locate the SafePal icon in your browser’s toolbar and click it. A new tab will open, presenting you with two clear options. Choose Create Wallet to begin setting up a new, empty wallet.<br>
<br>You will now see a list of 12 unique words–your secret recovery phrase. This phrase is the only key to your funds. Write each word down on paper in the exact order shown. Do not save it digitally, like in a screenshot or text file.<br>
<br>Confirm you have written the phrase correctly by selecting the words in the correct sequence on the next screen. This step verifies your backup and prevents errors.<br>
<br>Finally, establish a secure password for your SafePal extension. This password protects access to the extension on this specific browser and device. With that, your new wallet is ready to receive and manage assets.<br>
Connecting Your Existing Hardware Device to the Software
<br>Grab your SafePal S1 hardware wallet and its USB-C cable. Open the SafePal browser extension and click the ‘Connect Hardware Wallet’ button on its main interface.<br>
<br>Power on your S1 device by pressing its side button. On the device’s screen, select ‘Connect to Software’ from the menu. You’ll see a dynamic QR code appear on the hardware wallet’s display.<br>
<br>Now, switch your focus back to the extension window on your computer. Click the ‘Scan QR Code’ button within the extension, which will activate your computer’s webcam. Point your camera clearly at the QR code on your S1 device’s screen.<br>
<br>The extension will read the QR code to establish a secure, one-way data channel. This method ensures your private keys never leave the hardware device or touch your computer’s internet connection.<br>
<br>After a successful scan, the extension interface will refresh. Your wallet’s public address and asset balance will load, confirming the connection is active. You can now use the extension to view your portfolio and prepare transactions.<br>
<br>For signing transactions, the process reverses. The extension will generate a QR code for the transaction details. You then scan this code with your S1 device to approve it offline, keeping your signatures completely secure.<br>
Restoring an Account Using Your Secret Recovery Phrase
<br>Open your SafePal extension and click the “Create Wallet” button. On the next screen, select “I Already Have a Wallet” and then choose “Software Wallet” as your import method.<br>
<br>Carefully enter your 12 or 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase in the exact order. Type each word with a single space between them, and double-check for spelling errors. Do not let anyone see your screen during this step.<br>
<br>After entering the phrase, set a strong password for your extension. This password encrypts your wallet on this device and is required for transactions. Confirm the password and click “Confirm” to proceed.<br>
<br>Your wallet will restore all previously used addresses. You should see your expected account balance and transaction history. If you manage multiple accounts, you can add more from the same phrase directly within the extension’s account management section.<br>
<br>Once restoration is complete, send a small test transaction to verify you have full control. This confirms the import was successful and your assets are accessible.<br>
FAQ:
I installed the Safepal extension but the icon is gray and won’t open. What should I do?
<br>This usually means the extension is not fully activated. In your browser’s extension management page (like chrome://extensions), find the Safepal Wallet extension and ensure the toggle switch is set to “On.” Also, check if you have any browser pop-up blockers preventing the interface from opening. Sometimes, simply restarting your browser can fix this issue.<br>
What’s the difference between creating a new wallet and importing one during setup?
<br>Creating a new wallet generates a brand new seed phrase (a set of 12 or 24 words) and private keys. You use this if you’re starting fresh. Importing a wallet means you already have a seed phrase or private key from a previous wallet (like from a Safepal hardware device or another software wallet) and you’re using that to regain access to your existing funds on the extension. Never share your seed phrase from either process.<br>
Can you explain the recovery process if I uninstall the extension or switch computers?
<br>Your wallet is not stored in the extension itself; it’s on the blockchain. The extension is just a tool to access it. To recover, reinstall the Safepal extension on any browser or computer. Choose “Import Wallet” and enter your original 12 or 24-word recovery phrase in the exact order. Set a new password for the local extension. This will restore your complete wallet with all assets and transaction history, as long as you use the correct phrase.<br>
Is it safe to connect the Safepal browser extension to any DeFi website or NFT platform?
<br>You must verify each website before connecting. The extension will show a connection request with the site’s URL. Check this URL carefully against the official project’s website. Scammers create fake sites with similar addresses. Only approve connections to platforms you know and trust. The extension cannot stop you from connecting to a malicious site, so your judgment is the main security layer here. Always revoke unused connections in the extension’s settings periodically.<br>
I lost my seed phrase but still have access to the extension with my password. How do I back it up now?
<br>Your password only protects the extension on that specific browser. It does not replace your seed phrase. If you lose the device or the extension data is cleared, your password alone cannot recover the wallet. While you still have access, you must immediately back up your seed phrase. Go to the extension’s settings, find the “Security” or “Wallet Recovery Phrase” section. You will need to enter your password again to view the phrase. Write it down on paper and store it securely. Do not save it digitally.<br>
