Step 1 Download the SafePal App

Step 2 Set up the Security Password
The first step to set up the SafePal App is to set a Security Password. The Security Password of the SafePal App is a set of at least 8 alphanum (letters and numbers) that is used to change the security settings such as fingerprint, pattern, and fast payments.
Since SafePal does not store your private key, seed phrase, or passwords, once the Security Password is set, remember it tightly. Because if you forget it, the only way to restore it would be to re-install the SafePal App and recover the wallet.
Step 3 Set up the fingerprint and pattern (Optional)
Fingerprint and Pattern are two useful features to save your effort in signing a transfer or authorize a DApp login. When you have set a fingerprint, for example, you can enable it for signing in to the App settings, so that you don't need to enter Security Password at every transfer.
Fingerprint and Pattern are optional. If you don't want to set one, just feel free to skip it.
Step 4 Recover the wallet
Step 5 Complete the wallet recovery
Congratulations! Now you have recovered the wallet into the SafePal App!
Double-check if you have imported the right wallet by checking the wallet address and the security suffix. If you are seeing a different wallet than your previous wallet, it means that you have entered the wrong private key. In this case, check again and make sure the key is entered correctly!
