Understand how imported wallets behave #

If you already set up a Phantom wallet ("primary"), and then import an additional Secret Recovery Phrase or private key, Phantom treats the imported recovery phrase or private key as a separate wallet rather than merging it with your primary wallet. For example, if you import an additional "Recovery Phrase 2" into the mobile app, it won't show up on the browser extension. If you reset Phantom on mobile and restore your primary wallet, "Recovery Phrase 2" won't appear either. You'll need to import it again manually.

Keep a record of every recovery phrase or private key you import. If you reset Phantom and restore using only your primary wallet's recovery phrase or Google or Apple account, your imported wallets won't return.
