Importing a Mnemonic with SeedSafe
Overview
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for importing an existing BIP-39 mnemonic seed phrase into your UnoLock vault using SeedSafe. SeedSafe provides military-grade protection for your recovery phrases through split-storage cryptography and zero-knowledge protocols, ensuring mathematical impossibility of seed phrase reconstruction without authenticated access to both encrypted halves.

- Click the Import button in the wallet area.
Select Backup Seed Option
- Click the Backup Seed option.
- Choose the number of words your mnemonic contains from the available options.
Enter the First Half of the Mnemonic

- Review the confirmation that shows your mnemonic and the number of words you selected appearing in the wallet area.
Enter the Second Half of the Mnemonic
