Install and Configure Your Safepal Wallet Extension with Secure Recovery Instructions
<br>Install the SafePal extension directly from the official Chrome Web Store to ensure you get the legitimate software. Avoid third-party download links, as these can be fraudulent. The setup wizard will then guide you through creating a new wallet or connecting an existing hardware device.<br>
<br>During wallet creation, you will generate and write down a 12-word secret recovery phrase. Write these words in the exact order on the provided physical backup card. This phrase is the master key to your funds; the extension itself does not store it. Anyone with these words gains complete control of your assets.<br>
<br>If you need to recover your wallet on a new device, select the ‘Import Wallet’ option in the extension. Carefully enter your 12-word phrase. Double-check each word for spelling errors and the correct sequence. After confirming, your complete wallet history and balances will synchronize, restoring your access.<br>
<br>For enhanced security, pair the software extension with a SafePal hardware wallet. This combination keeps your private keys permanently offline, requiring physical confirmation on the device for any transaction. This setup provides robust protection against online threats while maintaining the extension’s convenience for browsing Web3 applications.<br>
Safepal Wallet Extension Setup Guide and Recovery Steps
<br>Install the safepal wallet app Extension only from the official Chrome Web Store or the official Safepal website to avoid fraudulent copies.<br>
<br>Open the extension and select ‘Create Wallet’. The system will generate a unique 12-word mnemonic phrase–your recovery seed. Write each word down in the exact order on the provided backup card or another durable offline medium. Confirm you have saved it correctly by selecting the words in sequence when prompted. This phrase is the master key to your funds; never share it, store it digitally, or take a screenshot.<br>
<br>After verifying the seed, establish a secure wallet password. This password encrypts your extension’s local data; losing it requires restoring with your 12-word phrase. The final step involves a security check where you practice marking and handling fake phishing phrases to recognize real threats.<br>
<br>For recovery, open the extension and click ‘Import Wallet’. Choose ‘Mnemonic Phrase’ and carefully type your 12 words, ensuring correct spelling and order. Set a new password for this installation. Your wallet will synchronize, restoring all assets and transaction history linked to that seed phrase.<br>
<br>If you lose access to your device but have the seed phrase, simply repeat the import process on a new computer. Your assets remain secure on the blockchain; the extension is just a tool to access them. Always keep your recovery phrase physically separate from your primary devices.<br>
Installing the Safepal Extension and Creating a New Wallet
<br>Open your Chrome, Brave, or Edge browser and visit the official Chrome Web Store. Search for “Safepal Wallet” and confirm you are selecting the extension published by “Safepal.” Click “Add to Chrome” and confirm the installation in the pop-up dialog.<br>
<br>Once installed, locate the Safepal icon in your browser’s toolbar and click it. You will see two clear options: “Create Wallet” and “Import Wallet.” Select “Create Wallet” to generate a new, unique set of keys.<br>
<br>The extension will immediately display your Secret Recovery Phrase. This is a 12-word mnemonic phrase that is the master key to your funds.<br>Write down each word in the exact order shown on a durable, offline medium like paper or a metal backup tool.
Double-check the spelling and sequence of all 12 words.
Never save this phrase digitally–avoid screenshots, text files, or cloud storage.<br>After recording your phrase, you will be asked to verify it. Select the words from your backup in the correct order to confirm you have a proper copy. This step ensures you can recover your wallet if needed.<br>
<br>Next, establish a strong password specifically for this extension. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on your device; it is not used for recovery. Make it unique and complex.<br>
<br>Your new wallet is now active. The main interface will show your asset balance. Before transferring any significant funds, take a moment to explore the settings. You can find features like address book management and network preferences to customize your experience.<br>
<br>For your first transaction, consider sending a very small test amount of cryptocurrency to your new wallet address to confirm everything works correctly. This verifies you control the address and that the extension is functioning.<br>
Connecting Your Existing Hardware Wallet to the Extension
<br>Ensure your hardware wallet is compatible; the SafePal extension currently supports SafePal S1, SafePal S1 Pro, and Ledger devices. Download the official extension only from the Chrome Web Store or the SafePal website to avoid counterfeit software.<br>
<br>Open the SafePal extension and click the “Connect Wallet” button. Select “Hardware Wallet” from the list of available connection options. You will see a prompt to choose your specific device model.<br>
<br>Connect your SafePal hardware wallet directly to your computer using its USB cable. For a Ledger device, connect it and enter your PIN to unlock it. Open the cryptocurrency app for the network you wish to use, like the Ethereum app for ERC-20 tokens.<br>
<br>Follow the on-screen instructions in the extension. It will ask for permission to access your public wallet addresses. Confirm this request directly on your hardware wallet’s screen by pressing the physical button.<br>
<br>After confirming, the extension interface will populate with your wallet’s portfolio. Your private keys remain secure on the hardware device; the extension only reads public blockchain data to display your balances and prepare transactions.<br>
<br>To send assets, you will create the transaction in the extension, but it must be approved and signed on your connected hardware wallet. This two-step process keeps your keys offline and protected from online threats.<br>
<br>If you disconnect the hardware wallet, the extension will retain a view-only connection to your addresses. To sign a transaction again, simply reconnect the device and follow the same confirmation steps.<br>
Using Your Secret Recovery Phrase to Restore Access
<br>Open the SafePal extension and click “I already have a wallet” to begin the recovery process.<br>
<br>Select “Software Wallet” as your wallet type, then choose “Import with Secret Recovery Phrase” from the options presented.<br>
<br>Carefully enter your 12 or 24-word phrase in the exact order. Type each word with a single space between them, and double-check for spelling errors.<br>
<br>You will then set a new, strong password for your extension. This password encrypts the wallet data on this specific browser and device.<br>
<br>After confirming the password, your wallet dashboard should load, displaying your previous assets and transaction history. The recovery is complete once you see your familiar wallet interface.<br>
<br>If the process fails, verify every word. A single mistake or an extra space can prevent access. Your recovery phrase is the master key; it always restores your assets on any compatible wallet software.<br>
FAQ:
I installed the Safepal extension, but the “Create Wallet” button is greyed out. What did I do wrong?
<br>This usually happens because you haven’t checked the box to agree with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Right above the greyed-out button, you’ll see the agreement text with a small square checkbox. Click that box to confirm you’ve read and agree. Once checked, the button should become active and allow you to proceed with creating your new wallet.<br>
Can I explain the recovery phrase process in detail? I’m worried about making a mistake.
<br>Absolutely. This is the most critical step. After clicking “Create Wallet,” you will see a 12-word recovery phrase. Do not screenshot it. Write each word in the exact order on your official recovery sheet. Then, the software will ask you to verify the phrase. It will show you, for example, “Word #3″ and “Word #7.” You must select the correct words from a list. Only after this verification is your wallet creation complete. Store the physical paper somewhere very safe, like a fireproof box. Anyone with these words can take your assets.<br>
If my computer crashes, how do I get my wallet back using the recovery phrase?
<br>You’ll need to reinstall the Safepal extension or install it on a new machine. Open it and click “I already have a wallet.” Choose “Recover with Secret Recovery Phrase.” Carefully type your 12 words in the correct sequence, with a single space between each word. Double-check for spelling errors. After entering, you can set a new wallet password for that device. This process downloads your wallet’s access keys from the blockchain; your funds are not stored on the device itself.<br>
What’s the difference between the wallet password and the recovery phrase?
<br>They serve different purposes. The wallet password is a local lock for the extension on your specific browser. It’s used to unlock the extension for daily use. If you forget it, you can uninstall and reinstall the extension and use your 12-word recovery phrase to regain access. The recovery phrase is the master key to your entire wallet on any device. It proves ownership of your crypto addresses. You cannot change it, and losing it means losing access to your funds permanently, even if you remember your wallet password.<br>
After recovering my wallet, my token balance isn’t showing. Are my coins gone?
<br>Your funds are likely safe. After recovery, you sometimes need to manually add the tokens. Look for a “Add Token” or “Manage Assets” button within the extension’s asset view. You can search for the token by name or paste its contract address. Also, check that you are viewing the correct blockchain network (like BNB Smart Chain or Ethereum) where your tokens are held. The wallet may default to one network, but your tokens could be on another. Switching networks often makes missing balances appear.<br>
