# Import an Existing Wallet with Mnemonic

There are two types of "importing an existing wallet" within a wallet.

* import a wallet with mnemonic(a.k.a. seed phrase)
* import a wallet with a private key

For the first time to use Zecrey wallet, you need to have a set of seed phrase ready. Either you can create one with our wallet or you can just use the set you have before. 

The reason why we need a set of seed phrase for usage of a wallet is users can generate many new accounts within the wallet later. 

And within the wallet, you can import any new account with a private key. 

### Import an Existing Wallet in **Mobile App**

**Step 3**: Set a 6-digit password for account security and transaction confirmation. If you forget the wallet password, you will need to reset Zecrey wallet in the setting, import your account with the recovery phrase and set a new password.
