If a new account appears in Phantom after you connect to Phantom Terminal (trade.phantom.com), it likely means you selected Continue with Phantom → Trading Account that the terminal used to have. This is the expected behavior, as Phantom created a separate trading account from your recovery phrase.

How can I identify this trading account? #

The trading account appears in your account switcher like your other accounts. On mobile, you may briefly see the label "Last used with Phantom.com" next to the account after it is created.

You can identify this account in your app logs. Go to Settings → Security & Privacy → Download App Logs. In the logs, the trading account appears as a kmsVault account type.

{
  name: "Account 2",
  identifier: "kms:<unique-identifier>:vault",
  addresses: [
    ...
  ],
  type: "kmsVault",
  ...
}

How is the trading account different? #

The trading account has its own recovery phrase, which is 24 words. You can export it in Settings → Security & Privacy → Show Recovery Phrase, then select the account.
