Use only the pen and paper provided in the SafePal box for this initial recording; avoid typing the phrase anywhere.<br><br><br>Confirm every word is spelled correctly by carefully checking it against the official BIP39 word list, which you can find on SafePal's documentation website. A single misspelling can make recovery impossible later.<br><br><br>After recording, your SafePal wallet will ask you to verify the phrase. It will display a sequence like "Word #3" and "Word #7." You must correctly select these specific words from your written list using the device's interface.<br><br><br>Passing this verification proves you have a correct, legible copy. Store your paper backup in a secure physical location, like a safe. Never share these 15 words, take a digital photo, or store them in a cloud file.<br><br><br>Consider creating a second copy on a durable material, such as a stainless steel backup plate, and store it separately from your paper note. This protects your phrase from fire or water damage.<br><br>Adding the 25th Word Passphrase in Safepal Settings<br><br>Open your Safepal app and navigate to the wallet you want to enhance. Tap the Settings icon (gear symbol) for that specific wallet.<br><br><br>Select "Advanced Settings" from the menu. Here, you will find the option for "Passphrase (25th word)". Toggle this feature to enable it.<br><br><br>A new input field will appear. Type your custom passphrase here. This can be any combination of words, numbers, and symbols.

Send a small test transaction to its address and confirm you can access it before moving significant funds. Your original 24-word wallet remains accessible by disabling the passphrase toggle.<br><br><br>Treat this passphrase with the same security as your seed phrase. It is not stored by Safepal and cannot be recovered if forgotten.<br><br>Accessing Wallets with Different Passphrases After Setup<br><br>Think of your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase as a master key to a secure building, and the optional passphrase as a specific apartment number inside it. You can create and access entirely separate wallets by adding a unique passphrase to your existing seed.<br><br><br>Open your SafePal app and go to the wallet selection screen. Tap "Add Wallet" and select "Import Wallet". Choose "Mnemonic Phrase" and carefully enter your original recovery seed words. This is the critical step where you add the passphrase.<br><br><br>Before confirming, locate the "Passphrase" or "Advanced Options" field. Enter your new, unique passphrase here. Every single character, including capital letters and spaces, becomes part of the key.

This new wallet is now active and managed separately, but it remains tied to your original seed phrase plus the specific passphrase you just used.<br><br><br>To switch between wallets, you don't need to re-import. Use the wallet manager or profile icon in the app to switch between your primary wallet (seed phrase only) and any passphrase-protected wallets you've created. Each functions as an independent asset container.<br><br><br>If you forget a passphrase, it cannot be recovered. SafePal has no record of it. You can only restore that specific wallet by re-entering the exact seed phrase and the exact passphrase again. Write down each passphrase you create and clearly label which one corresponds to which wallet address.<br><br>FAQ:<br>I lost my 13th word extension. Can I still access my wallet with just the original 12-word phrase?<br><br>Yes, you can. The standard 12-word recovery phrase is the core of your wallet. The 13th word extension (sometimes called a passphrase) is an optional security layer. If you set one up and then lose it, you cannot access any accounts or funds that were created under that specific 13th-word extension. However, you can always import your original 12-word phrase into a new [https://safepal-extension.cc/blog/understanding-seed-phrases.php safepal wallet seed phrase] or compatible wallet to regain access to your main/default accounts. Those funds remain secure and separate from any accounts protected by the lost extension.<br><br>What's the actual difference between the 12-word seed and the extra 13th word?<br><br>The 12-word seed phrase generates your main wallet address. It's a universal standard. The 13th word is not another seed word; it's a custom passphrase you create. This passphrase acts like a "salt," combining with your 12-word phrase to generate a completely new, separate set of wallet addresses. Think of it this way: your 12 words are the master key to a main vault. The 13th word creates a hidden, separate vault behind a bookshelf. Without that exact 13th word, the hidden vault cannot be found or opened, even with the master key.<br><br>Is the 13th word case-sensitive? Can I use spaces or special characters?<br><br>Yes, it is case-sensitive. "MyWord123" is different from "myword123." You can use spaces, numbers, and special characters. This increases security but also demands precise recall. A single wrong character, an extra space at the end, or a different capitalization will generate a wrong wallet with zero balance. Write down the exact sequence you set, including all capitals, lowercase letters, and symbols.<br><br>I'm confused about where to set this up in the Safepal app. Is it during the first wallet creation or later?<br><br>You can set it up at both times. During initial wallet creation, after writing down your 12-word phrase, the app will ask if you want to add a "Passphrase." You can add one then or skip. To add it later, open your Safepal wallet, go to "Me" > "Settings" > "Wallet Management." Select your wallet, then choose "Passphrase Settings." Here you can activate and set your 13th-word extension for an existing wallet. The app will require you to confirm your original 12-word phrase before allowing this change.<br><br>If someone gets my 12-word phrase but not my 13th word, are my funds safe?<br><br>Funds in your main wallet (the one generated by the 12 words alone) are not safe if someone has those words. They can steal those assets. However, any funds you have moved to accounts generated by the combination of your 12 words AND your 13th-word extension remain completely protected. The attacker cannot find or access those funds without your exact passphrase. This is why many users keep a small amount in the main wallet and store the bulk in the extension-protected wallet.<br><br>I already have a 12-word seed phrase for my Safepal wallet. Can I extend it to 24 words, and if so, how does that process work?<br><br>You can extend a 12-word seed phrase to 24 words using the Safepal "Recovery Phrase Extension" feature. This process does not change or replace your original 12 words. Instead, it adds a new, separate set of 12 words, creating a combined 24-word phrase. The original 12 words remain the root of your wallet, and the new 12 words act as an extra layer of security. To set it up, open your Safepal app, go to the wallet settings, and find the "Recovery Phrase Extension" option. The app will guide you through generating the new 12 words. You must write down these new words on paper, in the exact order shown. Crucially, you now have two sets of words to keep safe: your original 12-word phrase and the new 12-word extension. To access your funds in the future, you will need to input both sets in the correct sequence if this feature is active.<br><br>Reviews<br><br>Benjamin<br><br>A quiet hum of potential rests within these words. It feels less like reading instructions, more like being shown how to forge a single, physical key for a vault that exists everywhere and nowhere. The process is methodical, almost meditative. You are not just typing words; you are mapping a territory only you will ever walk. There’s a certain gravity to it. Each word chosen becomes a landmark in a private geography. The guide understands this weight. It moves with a calm precision, focusing on the silence between steps—that moment you double-check, that breath before confirming. This isn't about technology shouting its brilliance. It's about the profound simplicity of a list, and the immense power that springs from guarding it yourself. A manual for creating your own quiet corner of certainty.<br><br><br>Daniel<br><br>Ah, the sacred ritual of writing down 24 words you'll never understand. Because nothing says "financial sovereignty" like hoping a piece of paper doesn't get wet. This guide is for the glorious moment you accept that your memory is useless and a single typo could send your crypto to a digital void. Follow it religiously. Or don't. Future you, sobbing over a lost fortune, will be a hilarious story for the rest of us. Cheers.<br><br><br>Harper<br><br>Honestly, who here actually trusts themselves to not lose a 25th word more than they'd lose their actual keys? Just me?<br><br><br>AuroraBorealis<br><br>Reading this made me feel so much more at ease about extending my recovery phrase. The step-by-step visuals for the SafePal interface were exactly what I needed. I’ve always been nervous about missing a single detail in this process, but your clear instructions for verifying each word in the correct order removed that fear. It’s the little practical tips that stood out—like double-checking the extension word’s position and keeping everything offline during setup. You didn’t just explain the ‘how,’ you gently highlighted the ‘why’ behind each action, which builds real confidence. This kind of careful, patient guidance is rare. Thank you for making a complex task feel manageable and secure. I finally feel ready to properly set this up.<br><br><br>JadeFox<br><br>Your guide felt like a quiet coffee chat. I’ve always been nervous about adding more words to my seed phrase—it seemed like inviting complexity. But your calm, step-by-step walkthrough, especially the part about the offline process, made it feel secure and thoughtful. It’s not just a setup; it’s a deeper layer of care for what we hold. Thank you for the clarity. It turns a technical step into something that feels like a responsible choice.<br><br><br>Kai Nakamura<br><br>Ha! So now we need a "guide" to set up extra words? What genius decided 12 wasn't enough? Typical. First they sell you a box saying it's the safest thing ever, then whisper "oh, but maybe add more stuff yourself, just in case *we* didn't get it right." Brilliant business! More steps, more things to write down and lose. Next they'll tell us to bury a metal plate in the garden. Guess what? My memory phrase is "taxationistheft" and my extension is "andthiswalletprovesit." Works fine. All this complexity just hides the fact your money isn't in your hands anyway. They make it feel like rocket science so you think they're smart. I'm not writing 24 words on paper like a medieval scribe. My security is a hammer. Anyone tries to steal my hardware wallet, they get the hammer. Simple.<br><br><br>Elijah Wolfe<br><br>A quiet ritual of trust. These twelve words, now twenty-four, feel like whispering a deeper secret into the ether. A melancholic expansion of my own digital soul.<br>

Install safepal wallet browser extension step by step guide



Install the SafePal Wallet Browser Extension A Complete Setup Guide

Direct your browser to the official SafePal website at safepal extension guide.com. This is the only source you should trust for downloading the extension to avoid fraudulent copies. On the homepage, locate and select the "Download" section, then choose the option for the Chrome or Firefox browser extension.


Your browser will take you to its official extension store, like the Chrome Web Store. Here, click the "Add to Browser" button. A clear installation prompt will appear; review the permissions requested and confirm by clicking "Add Extension." The installation completes in seconds, and the SafePal icon will appear in your browser's toolbar.


Click the new SafePal icon to launch the extension. You will see two clear choices: Create Wallet or Import Wallet. If this is your first time, select "Create Wallet." The software will generate your unique 12-word mnemonic phrase, which is your master key.


Write down each word of your recovery phrase in the exact order shown on a physical piece of paper. Store this paper securely, away from digital cameras or online storage. The extension will then ask you to verify the phrase by selecting the words in the correct sequence, ensuring you have a proper backup.


Finally, set a strong password specifically for this extension. This password protects access to the wallet on this device. After confirmation, your wallet is active. You can now receive assets by sharing your public address or explore the built-in swap features directly from your browser.

Install SafePal Wallet Browser Extension Step by Step Guide

Open your preferred browser–Chrome, Brave, or Edge–and navigate directly to the official SafePal website at safepal.com. This ensures you download the authentic extension and avoid fraudulent copies.


Find the "Download" section on the website's homepage. Click the option for "Browser Extension" or a similar label. Your browser will redirect you to its official extension store, like the Chrome Web Store.


On the store page, select the "Add to Chrome" button. A confirmation dialog will appear; click "Add extension" to begin the installation. A small SafePal icon will soon appear in your browser's toolbar.


Click the new SafePal icon to launch the extension. You will see two clear choices: "Create Wallet" for a new setup or "Import Wallet" if you have an existing recovery phrase.


If creating a wallet, the tool will generate a unique, 12-word secret recovery phrase. Write down each word in the exact order on a physical piece of paper. Store this paper securely; never save it digitally or share it with anyone.


You must verify your recovery phrase next. The extension will ask you to select the words in the correct sequence. This step confirms you recorded them properly and is mandatory to continue.


Finally, establish a strong wallet password. This password protects your extension locally on this device. Confirm it, agree to the terms, and your SafePal Wallet will be ready for use.


For added security, consider connecting your new software wallet with a SafePal Hardware Wallet. This combination provides robust protection for your assets against online threats.

Downloading the Official Extension from the Chrome Web Store

Open your Chrome browser and go directly to the official Chrome Web Store. Use this exact search term in the store's search bar: "SafePal Wallet Extension".


Identify the correct developer. The official extension is published by "SafePal Official". Verify this name before you proceed. Avoid any listings from unverified third parties.


On the extension's page, you will see a blue "Add to Chrome" button. Click this button to start the installation. A confirmation dialog will appear, detailing the permissions the extension requires.


Review these permissions, which typically include the ability to read and change site data. This is standard for wallet extensions to interact with decentralized applications. To continue, click "Add extension" in the dialog box.


Chrome will download and install the extension automatically. You will see a new puzzle piece icon appear in your browser's toolbar. A confirmation message from Chrome will also briefly appear near the icon.


Once installed, click the new SafePal icon in your toolbar. This action will launch the extension's setup interface, guiding you to the next step: creating a new wallet or importing an existing one.

Setting Up Your New Wallet or Importing an Existing One

Open the SafePal extension and click Get Started. You will see two clear options: Create Wallet and Import Wallet.


Choose Create Wallet if this is your first time. You will generate a new 12-word secret recovery phrase. Write each word down in the exact order on the provided backup card or another physical medium. Confirm the phrase by selecting the words when prompted. This step is irreversible; your funds are permanently lost if this phrase is misplaced.


Select Import Wallet to regain access to an existing wallet. Enter your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase precisely, paying close attention to spelling and spaces. You can also import using a private key, though the recovery phrase is generally simpler.


After creating or importing, you must set a strong Wallet Password. This password encrypts your wallet data locally on this browser. It is separate from your recovery phrase and is required each time you access the extension.


The final step involves a security checkup. SafePal will guide you through verifying your backup and understanding security basics. Completing this helps ensure you are the only person in control of your assets.

Connecting the Extension to dApps and Managing Assets

Open your preferred dApp's website and locate its "Connect Wallet" button, typically found in a corner. Click it and select SafePal from the list of wallet providers. A connection request will pop up in the SafePal extension; carefully review the permissions and the dApp's address, then click Confirm to link your wallet.


Once connected, you can interact with the dApp's features directly. For swapping tokens, your extension will show a transaction preview with the network fee before you approve it. Signing transactions is secure–your private keys never leave the extension.


To check your asset balance, simply click the SafePal icon in your browser's toolbar. You'll see a clear list of your tokens and their current value. Adding a new token? Click Add Token within the extension's asset view and paste the official contract address. Always verify this address on a block explorer to avoid scams.


For sending assets, select the token, click 'Send', and paste the recipient's full address. Double-check this address, as transactions on blockchains are irreversible. You can adjust the network fee (gas) for your transaction speed; a higher fee often processes faster.


Regularly use the extension's built-in security features. Review your connected dApps under settings and revoke access for any you no longer use. This minimizes risk and keeps your wallet interactions clean and controlled.

FAQ:
Is the SafePal browser extension a real, official product from SafePal?

Yes, the SafePal browser extension is an official product developed by the SafePal team. It is designed to function as a secure cryptocurrency wallet directly within your browser, complementing their hardware wallet. Always ensure you download it only from the official SafePal website or the official Chrome Web Store page to avoid counterfeit versions.

I installed the extension. What's the very first thing I should do to set it up securely?

The absolute first step is creating a new wallet. Upon opening the extension, choose "Create Wallet." You will then be shown a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase. This phrase is the master key to your funds. Write it down on paper, store it physically in multiple safe places, and never digitize it by taking a screenshot or typing it into a file. Confirm the phrase correctly to proceed.

Can I connect my existing SafePal hardware wallet to this browser extension?

You can. The extension supports connecting your SafePal S1 or other models. After installation, select "Connect Hardware Wallet" instead of creating a new software wallet. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your device via QR code scan. This method keeps your private keys offline in the hardware device while allowing you to interact with dApps through the extension.

What's the difference between the wallet password and the Secret Recovery Phrase?

These serve different purposes. The wallet password is a local access code you create for that specific browser and device. It unlocks the extension for daily use. If you forget it, you can uninstall the extension, reinstall it, and regain access using your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase. The Recovery Phrase is the foundational backup for your entire wallet; anyone with it can control your assets from anywhere.

After setting it up, how do I actually receive crypto into my new SafePal extension wallet?

To receive assets, open the extension and navigate to the wallet for the specific cryptocurrency (like Ethereum or BNB). Click the "Receive" button. Your wallet address, a long string of characters, will appear. You can copy this address or display its QR code. Provide this exact address to the person or exchange sending you funds. Always double-check a few characters at the beginning and end to confirm accuracy.

Is the SafePal browser extension a separate wallet, or does it connect to my existing SafePal hardware wallet?

The SafePal browser extension is designed primarily as a companion to your SafePal hardware wallet. It is not a standalone software wallet where you store private keys. Instead, it acts as a secure bridge between your hardware device and decentralized applications (dApps) in your browser. When you want to interact with a dApp, the extension will prompt you to sign the transaction physically on your SafePal hardware device. Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet, maintaining the highest security level. You can also use the extension to view your portfolio and transaction history by connecting it to your hardware wallet.

Another click, another key to a silent vault. It feels like tending a garden no one visits. The steps are clear, but my trust feels thin, stretched across cables and lines. I follow them anyway, because where else does one keep ghosts nowadays?

Ha! Another day, another "secure" wallet to bolt onto our browsers. Because clearly, the twelve apps already blinking down there weren't enough. But fine. Let's do this little ritual again for the algorithm gods. So they want us to grab an extension. From a store. Where anyone can list anything. And we just click "add" with a smile. Genius! The guide says "only get from official source." Darling, my neighbor's cat could make a "official source" page. But we're the paranoid ones for asking questions. Follow the pretty pictures, click where the big arrows point. It's that simple! Until it isn't. Then it's your fault for missing step 4.2b. Type your secret words into the glowing box. What could go wrong? The future is here, and it's us manually backing up 24 words onto paper like it's the dark ages. But hey, you'll own your coins! Until you don't. Then the replies will say you should have used a hardware wallet. Which this... sort of... turns into? My head spins. Get it done. Hope the code was audited by someone who didn't rush. Watch your pennies. Smile. We're so cutting-edge it hurts.

Another browser extension? My trust ends at the official app. This guide glosses over key risks: permissions it requests, how it interacts with sites, and real isolation from browser vulnerabilities. Sketchy.

My hands were shaking the whole time! What if I click the wrong thing and lose everything? This guide held my hand through every single click. Now my crypto is safe and I feel like a tech genius. My husband will be so surprised.
