Import a wallet to Kraken Wallet

Last updated: 15 September 2026

You can import a recovery phrase wallet using a valid 12-, 18-, or 24-word BIP-39 recovery phrase.

Anyone with your recovery phrase can control your funds. Enter it only in the official Kraken Wallet app. Kraken Support will never ask for it.

  1. 1

    Open Kraken Wallet and tap Get Started.

  2. 2

    Select Import Existing Wallet.

  3. 3

    Select Enter Recovery Phrase.

  4. 4

    Enter the recovery phrase in the correct order.

  5. 5

    Review the detected wallet and continue.

  6. 6

    Secure Kraken Wallet with your device authentication.

Alternatively you can restore your seed phrase from Cloud Backup (Apple iCloud or Google Drive) by selecting Restore Cloud Backup.

  1. 1

    Open Kraken Wallet and go to Settings.

  2. 2

    Tap Add Wallet.

  3. 3

    Tap Import Existing Wallet.

  4. 4

    Enter the recovery phrase in the correct order.

  5. 5

    Review the detected accounts and finish the import.

Importing another recovery phrase does not replace your existing wallets. Kraken Wallet keeps each imported recovery phrase as a separate seed phrase wallet group.
