# Exporting and Importing a Wallet Using a Passphrase

## Exporting an Account From Fearless Wallet

If you'd like to export your passphrase, you can do it in several ways:\
\
1\. [Whole Account (without **Unique Secret**)](#whole-account)\
2\. [Account with **Unique Secret** (from the **Wallet** tab)](#account-with-unique-secret-from-the-wallet-tab)\
3\. [Account with **Unique Secret** (from the **Settings** tab)](#account-with-unique-secret-from-the-settings-tab)

{% hint style="info" %}
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.
{% endhint %}

### **Whole Account**

If you haven't taken advantage of the new [**Unique Secret** ](https://wiki.fearlesswallet.io/accounts/walkthrough/unique-secrets)feature, please do the following:\
\
1\. Click on the **Wallet** tab & then on then on the "bird" icon in the top left corner:\

That's it! You've just successfully exported your account!

### Importing to Polkadot.js

To import your wallet to Polkadot.js, open the [**Polkadot.js extension**](https://polkadot.js.org/extension/) in your browser

Click on **Import account from pre-existing seed**, as shown below

![](https://1929423428-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MiaqvxVtQSUrWb72Fsv%2Fuploads%2FOhhCvyBuVLqoqR5ynUPB%2Fexportpolkadot.png?alt=media\&token=5376d067-5b02-4dd5-9154-c552de9f5dd6)

Finally, input your seed phrase

## Importing an Account to Fearless Wallet

Unfortunately, Polkadot.js does not allow you to export your passphrase once you've created your wallet. (*More info* [*here*](https://support.polkadot.network/support/solutions/articles/65000169731-how-can-i-view-my-mnemonic-seed-on-the-polkadot-js-webapp-and-extension-)). 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!

If you have already saved your passphrase, open the Fearless Wallet app and click on **Settings** and then **Wallets**\
\
![](https://1929423428-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MiaqvxVtQSUrWb72Fsv%2Fuploads%2FHriq5deYAu7ByJROffHa%2FFrame%2012\(1\).png?alt=media\&token=ba246ca9-b86f-45a1-b590-fb90a256b123)\
\
![](https://1929423428-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MiaqvxVtQSUrWb72Fsv%2Fuploads%2F7Cof4U55bdH7awkOY3k0%2FGroup%2042.png?alt=media\&token=891fabf6-a757-41c3-8b4c-f43f53b7fcc7)

Then click on the **Add wallet** button and select the "**I already have a wallet"** option

Select the correct **Source type** from the drop down menu to use while importing your account.

If you're importing your wallet using the Mnemonic passphrase, you'll have to choose a name for your account in the Fearless Wallet app.

Instead, **if you're using a JSON file, you'll also have to type the password** you used to protect that wallet on the Polkadot.js extension!
