We will use Phantom’s interface as an example but the process is very similar for any other wallet that provides you access to the private key.
For clarity’s sake, the private key is not the mnemonic / recovery phrase. Your mnemonic unlocks the private key that then gives you access to your capital. Usually, you will not need to utilize the private key but some wallets will give you access to it.
If a wallet does not give you access to your private key, as is the case with Sollet, you can simply input your mnemonic phrase into Solflare’s wallet access page and you should be good to go.
Step 1
Open your Phantom wallet extension and click the settings button on the bottom right.
Step 2
Scroll down to the bottom and click Export Private Key.
You’ll be prompted to input that password and once you have done so, click Next.
This password is the one you generated, not your mnemonic / recovery phrase.
Step 3
After inputting your password, you’ll see your private key on the screen.
This key will be imported into the Solflare wallet next so it is important to have this copied down in a safe place.
Step 4
Click your wallet's profile picture (the round icon at the top left)
Click "+ Add wallet"
Choose "Import existing wallets"
Click "Private key"
First input a Name then paste the private key in the box and finally click "Import".
That’s it!
Now you can easily switch between wallets in the Solflare wallet management panel.
