You can click on Import seed phrase.

Thanks for your quickly reply, I mean when you have multiple accounts, your illustration is imported from the seed phrase when setting up, I mean after you set up your wallet.

@bethatguyad i see. Can you provide some examples, please? You mean importing with private keys?

[bethatguyad]

e.g., okx wallet:

when you click import wallet

they have two options, one for import from private key and one for import from seed phrase

[prince596]

Nice observation. Most wallets have that option so i think it's worth looking into

@bethatguyad this is not possible cuz as we use BIP44 , when you import the seed phrase, thats the "root" account of your wallet. When adding accounts the new ones will be always the same account as they are derived from root. If we import from seed phrase it would be only the first account, and no derivation would be allowed.

I understand the issue purpose, just mentioning its a bigger effort than just adding another import method.

The way to support it is developing support for more than 1 root bip44 account, and support multiple derivations.

We will work on prioritization for this issue but no ETA yet
