Install Fuel Wallet Connect to DApps and Recover Your Account Step by Step

If you cannot sign in, your twelve to twenty-four word secret phrase is the only required tool. This sequence, generated during the initial setup, is the master key. Locate the backup you stored securely; entering it in the correct order within the application's restoration field will fully reinstate your portfolio, including all tokens and transaction history.
For instances where the mnemonic phrase is unavailable, some custodial solutions offer alternative methods. You may authenticate through the linked email service or a connected hardware vault. Success here depends on the specific setup you configured during creation. Note that without the seed phrase, options are inherently limited by the software's design.
Once your profile is active, interacting with decentralized applications on the Fuel blockchain requires authorization. Navigate to a compatible application and select the option to link your vault. A signature request will appear; carefully review the transaction details and permissions before confirming. This step establishes a secure channel without exposing your private credentials to the external site.
To prevent future access issues, consolidate your recovery information in a single, physically secure location. Consider a dedicated, offline storage device for your mnemonic phrase. Regularly verify that your linked authentication methods, such as email accounts, are operational. Proactive management of these elements ensures continuous control over your on-chain assets and identity.
Installing the Fuelet Wallet browser extension step by step

Navigate directly to the Chrome Web Store using your preferred browser.
Locate the search bar at the store's top-left corner. Type the exact name of the software to find the official add-on. Verify the developer's identity before proceeding.

1. Click the blue "Add to Chrome" button on the extension's page.
2. A confirmation dialog will appear; select "Add extension" to initiate the process.

The setup completes within seconds. A new icon will materialize in your browser's toolbar, confirming successful integration.
Click this freshly added toolbar symbol to launch the interface. You will be presented with initial setup choices: generating a new storage vault or restoring an existing one using a secret phrase.
For a new vault, the tool will produce a twelve-word mnemonic seed. Transcribe these words onto physical paper in the exact sequence shown. This paper copy is your primary backup; digital screenshots or text files create vulnerability.
Subsequently, you'll be asked to re-enter the seed phrase. This verification step ensures your backup is accurate and complete, preventing future access loss.
Finally, establish a strong local password. This code encrypts the extension's local data, adding a mandatory layer of protection for every browser session.
Connecting your wallet to a decentralized application (dApp)

Always verify the URL of the service you intend to use; bookmark legitimate sites to avoid phishing attempts.
A pop-up from your digital asset manager will appear, requesting authorization for the link.
Scrutinize the permissions requested: a swap tool needs access to token balances, but a simple game should not ask for unlimited spending approval.
Reject any transaction asking for 'unlimited' asset allowances; modify the amount to match the specific trade you are executing.
Each interaction is a blockchain transaction, requiring gas fees paid in the network's native currency, so ensure your balance covers these small costs.
After linking, your public address and token holdings become visible to the service's interface, but your private keys never leave your custody.
If the interface freezes, check your extension's activity or refresh the page; signed transactions are already broadcast.
Disconnect the session via the application's interface when finished, and clear any cached permissions in your extension's settings periodically.
Recovering your account using a seed phrase

Immediately locate your 12, 18, or 24-word mnemonic phrase, written in the exact order it was provided.
Within the application's interface, find the option for accessing an existing profile, often labeled "Import" or "Restore." Select it and choose to enter a mnemonic phrase. Input each word precisely, with a single space between them, ensuring correct spelling. Case sensitivity is typically not a factor, but absolute accuracy is non-negotiable.
An incorrect or out-of-order phrase will fail. If entry fails, verify each word against your backup. Consider this checklist:

One wrong wordCompare your backup letter-by-letter.
Last word failsIt often acts as a checksum; a single error here is common.
Phrase seems valid but access is deniedConfirm you are using the correct mnemonic for this specific profile and network.
After successful entry, you will be prompted to establish new credentials–a fresh password and, if supported, a new PIN for the restored profile. This step is mandatory for security, as the old credentials are not stored with the phrase.
Once restored, all assets and transaction history linked to that cryptographic key will be visible. This process does not move funds; it regenerates the keys to access the blockchain address. Securely store your phrase again, offline, and consider this restoration a critical reminder of its absolute importance.
FAQ:

I lost my phone and can't access my Fuelet wallet. How do I recover my account on a new device?

You can recover your account using your 12 or 24-word secret recovery phrase. Install the Fuelet wallet on your new device. On the welcome screen, select the option "I already have a wallet" or "Restore wallet." Carefully enter your recovery phrase exactly as you wrote it down, with each word separated by a single space. The wallet will rebuild your account, restoring access to your assets and connected dApps. Your funds are stored on the blockchain, not on the lost phone, so recovery is possible as long as you have the phrase.
After recovering my Fuelet wallet, my dApp connections are gone. Why is that and how do I reconnect?

Wallet recovery restores your keys and assets, but not your active dApp session approvals. This is a security feature. To reconnect, visit the dApp in your browser and initiate a connection or transaction. Your Fuelet wallet will prompt you to approve the connection from the recovered account. You'll need to re-approve connections for each dApp you use. Check the dApp's interface for a "Connect Wallet" button to start the process.
What's the exact difference between "Connect Wallet" and "Recover Account" in Fuelet?

"Recover Account" is the process of restoring access to your wallet's private keys and asset history on a new device using your secret phrase. It's for when you no longer have the wallet installed. "Connect Wallet" is an action you take after your wallet is active. It links your wallet to a decentralized application (dApp) so the dApp can request transactions or view your public address. Recovery happens once; connecting happens each time you interact with a new dApp.
I have my recovery phrase, but the wallet says it's invalid. What could be wrong?

This usually points to a small error in the phrase. Check for these common issues: 1) Each word must be spelled correctly. 2) Words must be in the exact order you received them. 3) Separate words with only a single space, no extra commas or lines. 4) Ensure you are using the correct word list language (English, if that's what you used). Manually typing is more reliable than pasting, as hidden characters can cause errors. If you wrote it down, double-check for similar-looking words.
Can I recover my Fuelet account without the seed phrase if I still have the old device?

If you still have the old device with the wallet installed and accessible, you do not need the recovery phrase for a standard setup on a new phone. Instead, use the wallet's export feature. In Fuelet on your old device, find the "Export Private Key" or "Export Secret Recovery Phrase" function within the security settings. It will show your phrase again. Write it down securely, then use it to recover on the new device. Never share this phrase or enter it on any website.
I installed the Fuelet wallet but can't see my old account or tokens from when I used the Fuel network before. How do I get my old account back?

You need to recover your existing account using your original seed phrase or private key. Installing a fresh wallet creates a new, empty account. In Fuelet, open the app and look for an option like "Import Wallet" or "Recover Account." You will be asked to enter your 12 or 24-word recovery seed phrase from your previous wallet. Type the words in the exact order, with spaces between them. After confirming, the wallet will restore your old account, and your assets and transaction history should become visible. If you only have a private key, there should be a separate import method for that. Never enter your seed phrase into websites, only directly into the trusted wallet app.
After recovering my account, a dApp I'm trying to use says "wallet not connected." What steps fix this?

First, ensure the dApp supports the Fuel network and is configured for it. Then, within the Fuelet Wallet setup wallet app, find the section for connected apps or sites—sometimes called "Connected Sites." Check if the dApp is listed there. If it is, try disconnecting it. Now, go to the dApp's website in your browser. On the dApp's page, look for a "Connect Wallet" button. Click it and select "Fuelet" from the list of options. This should trigger a connection request pop-up in your Fuelet wallet. Approve the request in the wallet. The dApp should now recognize your address. If it still fails, check your device's connection or try restarting both the wallet app and your browser.
