Accounts & backups
Add another identity
Create another identity for a different purpose without generating another recovery phrase. Each derived identity has its own public key, but all identities using the same phrase depend on that shared backup.
Before you start
- The vault must already contain a main recovery phrase; an imported private key alone is not enough.
- Keep a secure copy of that phrase before adding identities.
Steps
- Unlock the extension, open the account selector, and choose Add Account → Create New.
- Enter a name that helps you recognize the identity. The local account name does not publish a new profile name.
- Keep the suggested derivation path unless you need a specific one. Open Advanced only to enter an exact path you intend to use.
- Check the public-key preview, finish setup, then select the new identity in the account selector.
- Record its exact derivation path and public key with your recovery records. The phrase alone does not tell another tool which path to restore.
Check the result
- The account selector should show the additional identity, and selecting it should show its own public key.
- Changing a path creates a different identity; it does not move posts, followers, or profile information from another account.
