Account options

Create new account

Create a new multi-chain account linked to an existing wallet—either a recovery phrase or a Google or Apple wallet. If you've imported multiple recovery phrases, you'll be asked which one to use.

This is useful if you want a fresh account without affecting your existing ones.

See Customize and manage your Phantom accounts.

Connect hardware wallet

Add accounts from a Ledger hardware wallet after connecting it to Phantom by cable or Bluetooth.
