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

If you’ve lost entry to your Fuel-based holdings, immediate action is required. Locate your 12 or 24-word secret phrase; this sequence is the sole method to re-establish control. This phrase is never stored by applications or required for standard interactions, so its security rests entirely with you.

Obtain the official client from its verified distribution channel. After launching the program, select the option to reinstate an existing profile. You will be prompted to carefully input your mnemonic phrase in the correct order. Accuracy here is non-negotiable–a single typographical error will result in failure.

Following successful validation, your entire transaction history and asset balance will repopulate. This occurs because the client reconstructs your cryptographic keys locally on your device. You should then re-establish authorizations for any decentralized applications you frequently use, as these permissions are tied to the specific client instance.

To prevent future access issues, store your secret phrase on durable, offline media. Consider a metal engraving solution resistant to fire and water. Never share these words digitally, and avoid storing them in cloud services or as plaintext files on internet-connected machines.

Installing the Fuelet Wallet and Connecting to a DApp

Get the client for your mobile device from the official app store or the project’s verified website to ensure you have the legitimate software. This step is non-negotiable for security. Once downloaded, launch the application and follow the on-screen prompts to generate a new vault; meticulously record your 12 or 24-word secret recovery phrase on paper, storing it physically. Never digitize this phrase.

To interact with a decentralized application, open its interface in a browser. Locate and select the option for linking a crypto vault, often found in a website’s header. A QR code will typically appear. Within your Fuelet application, find the scanner function, authorize the camera permission, and point it at the code. This action creates a secure, permission-based bridge between the two pieces of software without exposing your private keys.

• Confirm each transaction’s details–like network fees and recipient address–directly within the Fuelet interface before approving.
• Different networks (e.g., Fuel, Ethereum) require separate asset allowances; manage these permissions in your vault’s settings.
• If a link fails, manually add the network’s RPC details using information from the DApp’s documentation.

Recovering Your Fuelet Account Using a Seed Phrase

Locate your 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase, the master key generated during your initial setup. This sequence is the only method to fully restore access if your device is lost or the application is deleted; store it physically, offline, and never share it.

Open the software and select the option for importing an existing profile. You will be presented with a blank text field–enter each word in its exact original order, with a single space between them, ensuring no trailing spaces at the start or end. Case sensitivity is not a factor, but a single typo or incorrect word order will cause the process to fail.

After submitting the correct phrase, your entire transaction history, asset balances, and associated addresses will repopulate. The software reconstructs your cryptographic keys from this phrase, granting you control identical to the original.

Confirm restoration by checking a recent transaction or known balance. Once verified, immediately reassess your security: if this phrase was ever exposed digitally, generate a completely new profile and transfer your holdings to it.

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 words in the exact order, with a single space between each word. After entering the phrase, your wallet will reconnect to your existing accounts and show your correct balance. Your funds are stored on the blockchain, not on the lost phone, so this process restores access.

What information do I need to connect Fuelet to a dApp?

To connect, you typically need your wallet’s public address, which you can copy from the main screen of Fuelet. The process is initiated from the dApp’s website. Look for a “Connect Wallet” button on the dApp. When you click it, a connection request will appear in your Fuelet wallet. You must review and approve this request. No private keys or recovery phrases are ever shared with the dApp during this connection process.

Why does my Fuelet wallet show a different address when I try to connect to a dApp?

Fuelet supports multiple accounts under one recovery phrase. The dApp might be requesting to connect to a specific account that isn’t your currently selected default. When the connection pop-up appears in Fuelet, check the account address displayed. You can usually tap on it to switch to a different account from your wallet before approving the connection. Ensure you’re connecting with the account that holds the assets you want to use.

A dApp isn’t recognizing my connected Fuelet wallet. What should I check?

First, confirm the connection is active in Fuelet’s settings under “Connected Apps.” If it’s listed, try disconnecting and reconnecting. Clear your web browser’s cache or try a different browser. Some dApps work best with specific networks. Verify that your Fuelet wallet is set to the correct blockchain network (e.g., Fuel, Ethereum) that the dApp requires. The network setting is usually found in the wallet’s main menu.

Is it safe to enter my recovery phrase into the wallet to restore it?

Yes, but only if you are entering it directly into the official Fuelet wallet app you downloaded from a trusted source like the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Never type your recovery phrase into a website, pop-up window, or any form sent via email or message. The legitimate wallet app will only ask for it during the initial setup or restore process on the device itself. Anyone with your phrase can control your funds.

I installed the Fuelet wallet but can’t see my old account or tokens from when I used it as a browser extension. How do I recover that account into the new mobile app?

This is a common situation. The Fuelet mobile app and the Fuelet Wallet extension browser extension are separate installations that don’t automatically share data. To access your old account, you need to import your recovery phrase into the mobile app. Open the Fuelet mobile app and look for an option like “Import Wallet” or “Restore Account.” You will be asked for your 12 or 24-word secret recovery phrase. This phrase was generated when you first created your account in the browser extension. Enter the words in the exact order. Once submitted, the app will restore your complete account, giving you access to your original address, token balances, and transaction history. Never enter this phrase into any website, only directly into the official wallet app.

I recovered my Fuelet account on a new phone, but my NFTs and some custom tokens aren’t showing. Are they gone?

Your assets are safe on the blockchain. The wallet interface may not automatically display every token. After recovering your account with your phrase, you need to manually add the token contracts for the assets you want to see. For NFTs, go to the “Collectibles” or “NFTs” section in Fuelet and use the “Add NFT” feature. You’ll need the specific NFT contract address and the Token ID, which you can find on a block explorer like Fuel Scan. For custom fungible tokens, find the “Add Token” option, usually in the assets section. Paste the official token contract address. The correct symbol and balance should then appear. This process doesn’t move tokens; it just makes the wallet interface aware of them.
