Описание: Lost access to your SafePal Wallet? This guide shows you how to use the SafePal browser extension to restore your wallet with your secret recovery phrase. Follow clear steps to regain control of your assets.
Restore Access to Your Safepal Wallet Using the Browser Extension Recovery Method

If you need to access your funds on a new computer or after reinstalling the extension, the recovery process is straightforward. Open the SafePal browser extension and click on the "Import Wallet" button. You will then select the specific method you used to create your wallet initially, such as a Secret Recovery Phrase (12 or 24 words), a private key, or a SafePal S1 hardware wallet connection.


Carefully enter your recovery phrase in the exact order, separating each word with a single space. Double-check for typos; a single mistake will prevent access. The extension will guide you to set a new, strong password for this installation. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on this browser, so make it unique and memorable.


Once confirmed, your wallet dashboard will load, displaying all your assets and transaction history. This process does not move your funds; it simply recreates access to your existing addresses on the blockchain. For security, ensure you are using the official SafePal extension from the Chrome Web Store and that no one is observing your screen during this sensitive operation.


After successful recovery, consider enabling all available security features within the extension. Set up transaction password confirmation and whitelist trusted addresses to add extra layers of protection for your future transactions.

Preparing Your 12 or 24-Word Secret Recovery Phrase

Locate your physical backup sheet where you wrote the words. If you cannot find it, stop; you must find that paper before proceeding with any recovery.


Ensure you have the exact number of words your wallet originally used–either 12 or 24. Using the wrong count will fail. Check your backup sheet twice to confirm the total.


Clean the lens of your device's camera if you plan to scan a QR code backup.
Find a private room with no cameras, including webcams, smartphones, or security devices.
Close any unnecessary applications on your computer to minimize risk.
Disable your internet connection temporarily while you transcribe the words from paper to your secure, offline storage.


Write each word clearly on a blank piece of paper in the correct sequence. Double-check the spelling against the official BIP39 word list, which you can verify on a different device. A single misspelled word will block access to your funds.


Keep this newly written list only for the recovery process. Once your wallet is restored, securely store the original backup in its permanent, safe location and destroy the temporary paper copy by shredding it.


With your phrase verified and prepared, you are ready to open the SafePal browser extension and begin the official recovery procedure.

Installing the Official SafePal Browser Add-on

Download the SafePal extension only from the official Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons website. Avoid third-party links to eliminate security risks.


Visit the store and search for "SafePal Wallet". Confirm the developer is listed as "SafePal" and check the user ratings. Click the "Add to Chrome" or "Add to Firefox" button. Your browser will request permission; approve the installation. A new puzzle piece icon should appear in your browser's toolbar.

Click the new SafePal icon in your toolbar. A welcome screen will guide you. You will see two clear options: "Create Wallet" and "Import Wallet". Since you are recovering access, select "Import Wallet". This action prepares the interface for your secret recovery phrase.


Have your 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase ready before proceeding. The extension will ask for it in the next step. Ensure you are in a private space where no camera or unwanted software can see your screen as you type these words.

Starting the "Import Wallet" Procedure in the Extension

Open your browser and click the SafePal extension icon from the toolbar. If you haven't installed it yet, get it from the official Chrome Web Store or SafePal website.


On the extension's welcome screen, select the "Import Wallet" button. You will not create a new wallet; this option is for restoring an existing one using your recovery phrase.


The next screen asks for your secret recovery phrase. Carefully type all 12 or 24 words in the exact order you wrote them down during setup. Use a single space between each word and double-check for spelling errors.


After entering the phrase, set a strong password for your extension. This password encrypts your wallet locally and is required every time you send assets or check private keys. Confirm the password in the second field.


Read and accept the terms of service, then click "Confirm" to proceed. The extension will process your recovery phrase. If everything matches, your wallet's accounts and assets will load within a few seconds.


Your wallet is now active in the browser. For security, lock the extension when not in use and consider connecting a SafePal hardware wallet for transaction approvals.

Entering Your Recovery Phrase and Creating a New Password

Open the SafePal browser extension and click the "Import Wallet" button. Select "Recovery Phrase" as your restoration method.


Type your 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase into the field. Enter each word in its exact order, with a single space between them. Double-check for spelling errors; even one mistake will prevent access. The extension does not connect to the internet during this step, keeping your phrase private on your device.


After verifying the phrase, you will set a new password for your wallet extension. This password encrypts the wallet data locally on this browser. Choose a strong, unique password that you do not use elsewhere. A good password mixes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.


Confirm the new password by typing it a second time. This ensures you typed it correctly and can remember it. You will need this password every time you unlock the extension on this computer, so consider using a reliable password manager.


Complete the process by clicking the confirmation button. Your wallet should now restore, displaying your correct addresses and asset balance. The recovery phrase itself should then be stored securely offline, as its job for this restoration is done.

Confirming Wallet Access and Reviewing Asset Balances

Check the wallet address displayed in the extension header matches your expected address. This confirms you've recovered the correct wallet, not a new empty one.


Your total portfolio value appears at the top. For a detailed view, click the 'Assets' or 'Tokens' tab. This list shows each cryptocurrency you hold, like BTC or ETH, with its current balance and approximate fiat value.


Verify the assets you expect to see are present. If a token isn't visible, you may need to manually add it. Look for an 'Add Token' or 'Manage Tokens' button, often represented by a filter or plus icon.


Use the search function within the asset list to quickly find specific tokens by name or contract address. This is useful for locating newer or less common assets.


For the most precise balance, consider checking your public address on a blockchain explorer like BscScan or Etherscan. This provides a network-level confirmation independent of the wallet interface.


Take a moment to review transaction history for each major asset. Look for the last incoming transaction to confirm recent activity is recorded correctly after your recovery.

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 exact information do I need to have prepared before starting the recovery process in the browser extension?

You need two critical pieces of information. First, your secret recovery phrase (12 or 24 words). Second, the wallet password you set within the original SafePal app or extension. The phrase restores access to your blockchain accounts, while the password decrypts your specific wallet file within the extension. Without the phrase, recovery is impossible. Without the password, you may need to set a new one during the import process.

After recovering my wallet in the extension, will I see all my different coins and tokens automatically?

Your balances for all assets on supported blockchains will be visible. The extension reads on-chain data using your public addresses derived from the recovery phrase. You might need to manually add certain custom tokens to the view. Go to the asset tab, click "Add Token," and search for the token contract address. Your funds are secure on the blockchain; the interface just needs to know which ones to display.

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

The SafePal extension is designed to keep your phrase secure within the browser's isolated environment. It never transmits the phrase over the internet or to servers. However, your computer's security is critical. Only download the extension from the official Chrome Web Store or SafePal website. Ensure your device is free from malware or keyloggers before entering the phrase. For maximum security, use a dedicated, clean device for recovery.

I successfully recovered my wallet in the extension, but now I have both an old and a new wallet showing. What happened?

This occurs if you created a new wallet in the extension before performing the import. The extension shows all wallet files stored locally. The "new" one is an empty wallet you generated. The "old" one is your recovered wallet with your funds. You can manage them by clicking the wallet icon or profile name in the extension. You should label them clearly. You can also remove the empty wallet file from the extension settings if you no longer need it.

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

Yes, you can fully recover your wallet. The Safepal browser extension functions as a standalone wallet. To recover, first install the extension. On the welcome screen, choose "Import Wallet." You will be prompted to enter your 12, 18, or 24-word mnemonic seed phrase. Type the words in the exact order, separated by spaces. After entering, you will set a new password for the extension. This password encrypts your wallet data on that browser. Once completed, the extension will generate all your previous addresses. Your assets will appear because the seed phrase controls the blockchain accounts. Remember, the extension does not hold your crypto; it allows you to access what's on the blockchain.

After recovering my wallet in the extension, my transaction history and token list look empty. Did I do something wrong?

This is a common concern but likely not a problem. The extension often starts with a default view and may not automatically show all tokens or past transactions. First, check that you are on the correct blockchain network. Your assets might be on Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, or another network. Use the network selector to switch. For tokens, you may need to manually add them. Find the "Add Token" feature, usually a plus icon. You can search by the token's contract address, which you can find on a blockchain explorer. For transaction history, the extension's internal log might be limited. To see a complete record, use the "View on Explorer" link from your wallet address page. This will show all activity recorded on the public blockchain. Your recovery was successful if your public address matches the old one.
