Add accounts to Phantom after initial setup

When you've already onboarded to Phantom (set up a wallet and are using it), you can add new accounts to your existing wallet.

Add accounts

Create a new account

Creates a new multi-chain account derived from your existing Secret Recovery Phrase. Good for keeping things separate without starting over. If you have imported multiple recovery phrases, Phantom asks which one to derive the account from. 

Note: If you imported an existing wallet and some of your previously used accounts aren't showing, see Accounts are missing after importing.

Mobile app

1. On the Home tab, tap your account name above your balance.
2. Tap the + button in the upper right.
3. Tap Create New Account.
4. Tap Create.

Browser extension

1. Click your profile avatar in the upper left.
2. Click Add Account.
3. Click Create New Account.
4. Click Create.
