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

If you need to access your funds but your SafePal hardware wallet is unavailable, you can directly restore your wallet using only the SafePal browser extension and your secret recovery phrase. This process creates a new, fully functional software version of your wallet, giving you immediate control over your assets.


Begin by installing the official SafePal extension from the Chrome Web Store or addons.mozilla.org. After adding it to your browser, open the extension and click 'Import Wallet'. You will then select 'Mnemonic Phrase' as your import method. Carefully enter your 12 or 24-word secret recovery phrase in the exact order it was generated, paying close attention to spelling and spaces between each word.


Next, you will set a new, strong password for your software wallet. This password encrypts your extension's data locally on your device; it is not stored on any server and cannot be recovered if forgotten. The system will then prompt you to choose a network, like BNB Smart Chain or Ethereum, for initial setup. Once confirmed, your wallet interface will load, displaying your balances and transaction history.


For ongoing security, immediately enable all available in-extension security features, such as transaction signing confirmations and password prompts. Remember, this software wallet is as secure as the device it's installed on. Consider this restored wallet a temporary solution and transfer your funds to a new hardware wallet seed phrase when possible for maximum long-term protection.

Installing the SafePal Extension for Wallet Recovery

Download the SafePal browser extension only from the official Chrome Web Store or the official SafePal website to avoid fraudulent copies. Visit chrome.google.com/webstore and search for "SafePal Wallet".


Click "Add to Chrome" and confirm the installation in the dialog box that appears. The extension icon will soon be visible in your browser's toolbar, typically in the top-right corner.


Before clicking the new icon, close all other wallet extensions or browser tabs related to cryptocurrency. This prevents potential conflicts during the setup process.


Open the extension by clicking its icon. You will see two clear options: "Create Wallet" and "Import Wallet". Since your goal is recovery, select "Import Wallet". This is the dedicated path for restoring access using your secret recovery phrase.


The system will then ask for your 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase. Enter the words in the exact order you recorded them, with a single space between each word. Double-check for any typing errors before proceeding.


You will be prompted to set a new, strong password for the extension. This password encrypts your wallet's data locally on this browser and device; it is not your recovery phrase. Choose a unique password you haven't used elsewhere.


After confirming the password, your wallet interface should load, displaying your recovered asset balances. For security, send a small test transaction to verify you have full signing control over the recovered wallet.

Beginning the Import Process with Your Secret Phrase

Open the SafePal browser extension and click the 'Import Wallet' button on the login screen.


Select 'Software Wallet' as your import method, then choose 'Mnemonic Phrase' from the list of options presented. The interface will clearly guide you to the next step.


You will see a text field. Carefully type your 12 or 24-word secret recovery phrase here. Follow these exact rules for entry:



Do
Do Not


Enter words in the correct sequence.
Use commas or numbers; only spaces separate words.


Double-check spelling for each word.
Type the phrase where others can see your screen.


Paste the phrase if you have it copied securely.
Correct a wrong word; clear the field and start over.



After entering the phrase, set a new, strong password for your extension access. This password encrypts the wallet data on this browser.


Confirm the password and agree to the terms. Click 'Import' to finalize. Your wallet dashboard should load, displaying your assets. Verify the receiving addresses match your expectations.


If the import fails, the phrase may be incorrect. Re-enter it slowly, confirming each word against your backup. The SafePal extension supports only standard BIP39 phrases; check your source.

Creating a New Password During Wallet Setup

Generate a password that is long and completely unique to your safepal wallet extension wallet. Reusing passwords from other websites or services significantly increases your risk.


Aim for a minimum of 16 characters, mixing uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Consider using a memorable passphrase–a series of random words–as it can be both strong and easier to recall than a complex string of characters.


Your password encrypts the wallet data stored locally in your browser extension. This means SafePal does not store or have access to it; losing this password can result in permanent loss of access to these specific wallet files.


Use a reputable password manager to securely create and store this password. This tool helps you manage unique credentials for every service without the need to memorize them all.


After setup, you will use this password alongside your recovery phrase for certain high-security actions within the extension, like approving transactions or viewing private keys. Keep it as guarded as your recovery phrase.

Confirming the Successful Restoration of Assets

Immediately check your total portfolio balance displayed in the extension's main dashboard. This figure should match your expected holdings.


Navigate to the asset list and verify each cryptocurrency appears with its correct ticker symbol, like BTC or ETH. A missing token might require you to manually 'Add Token' using its contract address.


Review recent transaction history for every major asset. Look for familiar sends or receives that confirm the wallet's activity history has been fully restored.


Perform a small test transaction with a low-value asset. Sending a minimal amount to another address of yours verifies the restored wallet can successfully sign and broadcast transactions.


Cross-reference your public addresses. Compare an address shown in the Safepal extension with the one saved in your personal records or on a known blockchain explorer to ensure they are identical.


If any discrepancy arises, re-enter your recovery phrase from the beginning. A single misplaced word during the initial process is the most common source of restored wallet data not aligning.

Linking Your Restored Wallet to dApps

Open your SafePal browser extension and ensure it's unlocked. The extension must be active in your browser to interact with any decentralized application.


Visit the dApp's website you want to use. Look for a "Connect Wallet" button, usually found in the top corner of the site. Click it to see a list of supported wallet providers.


Select "WalletConnect" from the connection options. A QR code will appear on the dApp's site.


In your SafePal extension, click the "WalletConnect" icon. A scanner window will open. Use it to scan the QR code displayed by the dApp. This creates a secure, encrypted link between your restored wallet and the application.


After scanning, a connection request will pop up in the extension. Check these details carefully:


The dApp's name and URL.
The network it's requesting (like BNB Smart Chain or Ethereum).
The permissions it asks for, such as viewing your address.


Confirm the request if everything looks correct. Your wallet address will now appear on the dApp's interface, confirming a successful link. You can now use the dApp's features.


For future visits to the same dApp, the connection might be remembered. You can manage all active links in your SafePal extension under the WalletConnect section, where you can disconnect any session you no longer want.

Q&A:
I lost my phone with the Safepal mobile app. Can I use the browser extension to get my wallet back?

Yes, you can recover your wallet using the Safepal browser extension. The process requires your original 12 or 24-word secret recovery phrase. Install the extension, click "Create Wallet," and then select "I already have a wallet." You will be prompted to enter your recovery phrase. After entering it correctly, your wallet, along with all your assets and transaction history, will be fully restored in the extension. Remember, the extension is just another interface to access your wallet on the blockchain; your funds are not stored in the app or extension itself.

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

Safety depends entirely on your environment. The extension itself is designed for this purpose. However, you must ensure your computer is free from malware or keyloggers that could steal your phrase. Always download the extension from the official Chrome Web Store or Safepal website. Never enter your phrase on a public or shared computer. For maximum security, consider using a dedicated, clean device for recovery. The extension should never ask for your phrase via email or any other medium—only during this specific recovery setup.

After recovering in the extension, why don't I see all my tokens?

This is common. The extension may only show default tokens for each network. Your assets are still on the blockchain. To view them, you need to add the token contract addresses manually. Go to the asset page for the specific network (like BSC or Ethereum) and click "Add Token." You can find the correct contract address for your token on blockchain explorers like BscScan or Etherscan. Once added, your token balance will appear.

Can I use both the recovered extension wallet and a new mobile app wallet at the same time?

Yes, and they will show the same information. When you recover a wallet using the same secret phrase in two different places (like the browser extension and a new phone), you are creating two access points to the same wallet on the blockchain. Actions taken in one, such as sending funds, will be reflected immediately in the other because they are viewing the same blockchain address. It's like checking the same bank account from your laptop and your phone.

I entered my phrase but the wallet shows a different address. What went wrong?

This means the recovered wallet is not the one you expected. The most likely cause is a mistake in entering the recovery phrase. Check for these common errors: 1) The order of words is incorrect. 2) A word is misspelled. 3) An extra space was added. The phrase is case-sensitive and must be perfect. Start over carefully. If it still fails, verify you are using the correct phrase for that specific wallet. Each unique phrase generates a unique wallet address.

I lost my phone with the Safepal app. Can I get my crypto back using only the browser extension and my secret recovery phrase?

Yes, you can fully recover your wallet. The browser extension functions as a standalone wallet, not just a bridge to your phone. To do this, install the Safepal extension in your browser (Chrome, Brave, etc.). During the setup, select "Import Wallet" instead of creating a new one. You will be asked for your 12 or 24-word secret recovery phrase. Enter the words in the exact order, with a single space between each. After confirming, the extension will reconstruct all your wallet addresses and assets. Your funds are stored on the blockchain, not on your lost device, so this process gives you complete access again. Ensure you are on the official Safepal website to download the extension and never enter your phrase on any other site.

After recovering my wallet in the extension, some of my tokens aren't showing. What should I check?

First, don't worry—your tokens are likely safe. The extension may only display assets on its default network list. Check the network. For example, if your tokens are on the Polygon network, you need to ensure Polygon is enabled. Click the network selector (it might say "Ethereum" by default) and add or switch to the correct blockchain. Second, add the custom token contract. If the token still doesn't appear, you may need to add it manually. Find the token's official contract address from a block explorer. In the extension, go to the assets page, look for an "Add Token" or "Import Token" option, and paste the contract address. The correct symbol and balance should load. Finally, clear your browser cache or try re-importing the wallet if the issue continues.
