Miden wallet extension setup and seed phrase security guide



Miden Wallet Extension Installation and Seed Phrase Protection Guide

Install the browser add-on exclusively from the project's official website or the verified Chrome Web Store listing. Third-party sources often host malicious software designed to steal your credentials. After adding the program, create a new vault instead of importing an existing one for maximum protection from potential prior compromises.


Your 24-word recovery mnemonic is the absolute master key. The software will display it once. Write these words in the exact order on durable, non-digital media like steel plates or specialized punch cards. Never store a digital copy–no photographs, cloud notes, or text files. This sequence is the only method to restore control if your device fails.


Operate this tool on a clean machine with updated antivirus software. Before authorizing any transaction, double-check the contract address and data shown in the confirmation prompt against the initiating application. Disable the add-on when not actively managing assets. For significant holdings, dedicate a hardware device that never accesses social media or downloads unverified files, keeping the bulk of your resources in cold storage.

FAQ:
I installed the Miden wallet extension but I'm stuck on the first screen. It's asking to create or import a wallet. Which one should I choose?

Choose "Create a new wallet" if this is your first time using Miden and you don't have an existing seed phrase. This will generate a new one for you. Only select "Import wallet" if you are recovering an existing Miden wallet from a seed phrase you previously wrote down and secured. If you're starting fresh, creating a new one is the correct path.

How do I properly save my seed phrase? I've heard just taking a screenshot is bad.

You heard correctly. Screenshots, digital photos, or copying the phrase into a text file or email are insecure. These methods expose your phrase to anyone with access to your device or cloud accounts. Write the 12 or 24 words in the exact order shown on a piece of paper using a pen. Store this paper like you would cash or a passport. A metal backup plate stored separately is a stronger option for long-term safety. The extension will show this phrase only once.

After writing down my seed phrase, the extension made me confirm it by selecting the words in order. I failed twice. What happens if I fail this check?

Failing the confirmation step is a safety feature. It prevents you from proceeding with an incorrectly recorded phrase, which would make your wallet impossible to Recover Miden Wallet. Typically, after a few failed attempts, the extension will cancel the wallet creation process entirely. You will need to start over from the beginning, which will generate a completely new seed phrase. Use your written copy to carefully select each word in sequence. This step exists solely to protect you.

My wallet is set up. Now, how do I actually use the extension to receive assets or interact with apps? Is there a specific address I share?

Yes. To receive funds, open the extension and locate your account address—it will be a long string of characters. You can click a button next to it to copy it. Share this address with the sender. To interact with a Miden application (dApp), visit its website. The site should detect your installed wallet or prompt you to connect. You'll see a request in the extension pop-up asking for your approval for the connection or a specific transaction. Always verify the request details before approving.
