Nov 3, 2022
There are several ways to set up a Keplr wallet account in Keplr Extension
Once you’ve installed Keplr extension, you’ll see different options to set up a wallet account:
<div class="warning"> PLEASE NOTE: The Keplr team will never reach out and ask you to validate your wallet or type your Recovery phrase or Private key. Be careful of scammers.</div>
<div class="warning info"> NOTE: A Recovery phrase or mnemonic seed phrase is a string of 12 or 24 words combined to form your master account key. Only you will be given the key, and whoever holds the key will have permanent access to the wallet. Keep your Recovery phrase safe!</div>
1. To create a wallet account with a recovery phrase, choose option [Create new wallet] and [Create new recovery phrase].
2. The next page shows you your secret recovery phrase. After reading the safety instructions, click Show my phrase. You can select a 12 or 24 word phrase. Save this phrase in a secure place but also do not lose it. (You'll need to input this phrase into the following page.)
3. To confirm the creation of this new wallet, you'll need to enter the words which appear in your recovery phrase. Give a name to your wallet and create a password for Keplr extension (you can change these later). Press [Next]
4. Select the chains that you want to use and press [Save] and press [Finish]. Your Keplr interchain wallet account is created.
1. To create Keplr wallet with Google account, choose option [Create new wallet] and [Connect with Google].

3. Read the instructions to back up your private key and press [Click here to see private key]. Copy the Private key and Save it in a secure place but also do not lose it. Then press [Import].
4. Select the chains that you want to use and press [Save] and press [Finish]. Then your Keplr account is created.
5. You now have a Keplr account linked with your Google login. Don't forget to record your password in a safe place so you can log back in. (Keplr team does not store passwords).

2. Select 12 words or 24 words or Private key from the options and enter in the appropriate slot. Take care to check that they are spelled correctly, typed in small letters and in correct order. Next, give a name to your wallet account and enter a new password.
<div class="warning">Make sure you have imported the account with the correct derivation path, viewable by clicking on [Advanced]. Normally, the derivation path should be m/44'/…’/0/0/0, but if you see that when importing the account via mnemonic on Keplr, the Cosmos Mainnet address displayed is different from yours, it is possible that the derivation path ends with 1 (or another number) instead of 0. If this is the case, all you have to do is replace the last 0 with 1. If you are interested in knowing more about the HD wallet derivation path, you type "HD derivation path" in the search bar.</div>
