info
Currently, you can only import an account from another wallet app onto Keycard and use it in the Status desktop app.

If you already have a crypto wallet account with another app like Metamask or Trust Wallet, it's possible to access and use it in Status Wallet and protect it with Keycard. The wallet account must be for Ether or other ERC-20 tokens.

To do so, you import the wallet account onto your Keycard by entering the recovery phrase.

info
Your wallet account lives on the Ethereum blockchain. You can access it from many wallet apps, including Status. Adding your account to Status doesn't remove it from other wallets you use.
tip
