Import via Secret Phrase

Last updated 21 days ago

To import a wallet manually to Family, you’ll first need to locate the 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase that you recorded when you first created the wallet. With this phrase, you can import any wallet directly to Family. If you import a wallet manually, Family will automatically assign it to a Wallet Group associated with that Secret Recovery Phrase.
