Import Bitcoin Wallet

Import your Bitcoin wallet to Wizz wallet extension with mnemonics and private key.

There are two ways to import a wallet:

1. After installing the wallet plugin, simply select “I already have a wallet,” then set a password and import your mnemonic phrase.

When setting up a new wallet, you can only import using a mnemonic phrase. If you wish to import a private key, you will need to first create a wallet and then proceed with the private key import afterward.

1. If you already have a local wallet, you can import by clicking on the top-right corner “Wallet Name -> “+” button”, then choosing either the mnemonic phrase or private key for import.

Mnemonic

1. Select the wallet type.

1. Enter the mnemonic phrase.

1. Select the address type to import. The address type is controlled by the path and passphrase, both of which can alter the wallet address. Note that path and passphrase are optional fields and are not required to be filled in.

Important: The address type, path, and passphrase must all match exactly to restore the corresponding wallet address correctly.

For higher wallet security, it is recommended to add a passphrase. With a passphrase set, even if your mnemonic phrase is leaked, others will not be able to recover your wallet. However, be sure to remember your passphrase!

In certain cases, you may need to set a specific path to restore the wallet correctly. Here’s an example of how to set it:

If your wallet path is m/44'/0'/0'/0/0, you can enter m/44'/0'/0'/0 in the passphrase field during the import process.

Private Key

1. Enter the private key, then click the “Next” button.

1. Select the desired address type, then click the “Import” button to complete the process.

Exporting Mnemonic Phrase and Private Key

1. To view your mnemonic phrase, go to the Wallet List section.

1. To view your private key, navigate to the Account List section.
