Recover or Import an Algorand Account with Recovery Passphrase

Before You Begin

This tutorial will allow you to recover or import an Algorand account using its 24 or 25-word recovery passphrase. Before we begin, please get your 25-word passphrase ready.

⚠️ If you don't have a 24 or 25-word recovery passphrase, you will be unable to recover your account. Pera Wallet is a non-custodial wallet and is not responsible for nor can provide assistance in the case of lost passphrases or accounts.
