#Add missing accounts after importing a wallet

When you import a wallet with multiple accounts into Status, you may notice that some accounts are missing. Similar to what other crypto wallets do after importing, Status Wallet only shows the first account.

All the accounts in the wallet you import are available in Status Wallet but are not visible. To view and operate these missing accounts you need to add them manually after importing the wallet.

#What to expect

• When you import a wallet with multiple accounts, only the first account is visible in Status Wallet.
• You can add the missing accounts to Status Wallet by adding additional accounts using the same recovery phrase origin.
• If you can't find your account after importing and adding extra accounts, you may need to edit the derivation path. Check if the original wallet uses a different path or shows the one used for the missing account.

#Add missing accounts after importing a wallet

To add the missing accounts after importing a wallet, create additional accounts using the same recovery phrase.

1. Import the wallet if you haven't done so already. After importing, only the first account is visible in Status Wallet.
2. Using the same recovery phrase as the account origin, create additional accounts. The Status app adds the missing accounts using consecutive derivation paths.
3. If you or your wallet provider have used a different derivation path standard, you may need to edit the derivation path to access your missing accounts.

#Example importing multiple accounts from MetaMask

Let's say you have a wallet in MetaMask with three accounts (accounts 1, 2, 3), and you want to import the accounts into Status Wallet.

Internally, these accounts use a sequence of numbers and symbols to represent their derivation paths, following the BIP44 standard.

• Account 1: m/44'/60'/0'/0/0
• Account 2: m/44'/60'/0'/0/1
• Account 3: m/44'/60'/0'/0/2

During the import process, Status Wallet shows the first account derivation path, m/44'/60'/0'/0/0.

To view the other two accounts, create two additional accounts using the same recovery phrase origin. Status Wallet automatically adds the missing accounts using consecutive derivation paths, m/44'/60'/0'/0/1 and m/44'/60'/0'/0/2.

After adding the accounts, you can view and operate them in Status Wallet.
