How to Reset Suiet Wallet Password
When you don’t know your Suiet password, things are a bit more complicated. In that case, you need to know the recovery phrase – without it, your wallet is lost. If you know your password, but you are reading this, go check that your seed phrase is correctly written down!
Step 1. Launch the Extension and Select “Forget Password”
When you are launching the Suiet extension, you need to enter the password, which secures your wallet locally on your device.
In case you don’t know the password, right below the window, there’s a “Forget Password?” button. Select that.
Step 2. Reset Suiet Wallet
Suiet will then warn you about the consequences of this action.
Crypto wallets are always on the blockchain. They can’t get deleted and are accessible from every crypto wallet that supports the given network. That’s what the recovery phrase is for – simply said, it allows the wallet to interact with the wallet address.
Type “RESET” in the given box and hit “Reset Suiet.”
Step 3. Import your Wallet Back using the Recovery Phrase and Set your Password
When you reset your wallet, you’ll be put back on the first screen you saw when installed the extension. Here are two options, to either create a new wallet or import a wallet. You want to select to import a wallet.
Now, you need to enter your Suiet Wallet recovery phrase exactly in the order you got it. It’s important to include all the words in the exact order.
Once you are done, click “Confirm and Import.” If you’ve done everything correctly, you’ll be pushed to another page where you can set your new password.
At this step, the most important thing is to set a password that you’ll remember. To be honest, it really doesn’t matter how strong your password is – it’s used only for local access. So the only way someone can access your wallet with that password is from your computer.
