How to use Phantom Extension Alongside Other Crypto Wallets

  • Updated

Your Phantom multi-chain wallet uses the same dApp connection method as MetaMask. If you’re using Phantom and MetaMask in the same browser profile, you can set a default wallet for dApp connections by following these steps:

Steps to Set Phantom As your Default Wallet (Extension)

  1. Click the icon of your current Account (upper left corner) to deploy the Menu and go to Settings (gear icon)
  2. Click on Preferences and then click on Default app wallet
  3. Choose the option that you want to be Default

If you prefer to separate Phantom from MetaMask entirely, you can move Phantom to a different browser or a separate Chrome profile. Here’s how:

Move Your Phantom Wallet to a Different Browser

  1. Go to Phantom settings > security & privacy > show recovery phrase
  2. Backup your recovery phrase
  3. Install Phantom extension on a different browser such as MS Edge, Brave, or Firefox
  4. Select "I already have a wallet" and import your Phantom secret recovery phrase

Move Your Phantom Wallet to a new Chrome Profile

  1. Go to Phantom settings > security & privacy > show recovery phrase
  2. Backup your recovery phrase

Add a Chrome profile:

  1. In the Chrome browser, at the top right, click Profile.
  2. Click Manage people.
  3. Click Add person.
  4. Choose a name and a photo.
  5. Click Save. A new window will open and ask you to turn on sync.
  6. (Optional) Turn sync on in Chrome with a Google Account for the new profile

Install Phantom extension on the new chrome profile

Select "I already have a wallet" and import your Phantom secret recovery phrase
