Exporting an Account From Fearless Wallet

If you'd like to export your passphrase, you can do it in several ways: 1. 2. 3.

Options 2 & 3 don't have any "techincal" difference between each other, the only thing that differs is the menu tab you access your passphrase from. So, you're welcome to use the one you find the most convenient.

If you haven't taken advantage of the new feature, please do the following: 1. Click on the Wallet tab & then on then on the "bird" icon in the top left corner:

2. Click on the three dots next to your wallet name:

3. And finally, on Export wallet, then Continue → Export

4. Select Mnemonic passphrase, write down the 12-word phrase and keep it safely

Unfortunately, Polkadot.js does not allow you to export your passphrase once you've created your wallet. (More info ). If you haven't saved your seed phrase, you will have to export the JSON file. Have a look at the next tutorial to learn how to import using a JSON file!
