# Add Account
QSafe provides primarily 3 ways to create/import your account.
* **Add account** – create a new wallet account.
* **Add hardware wallet account** – connect a device like Ledger or Trezor.
* **Import account from another wallet** – restore an account using a private key or recovery phrase.
This is the account creation modal for the **Polygon** network, Since Polygon is the currently selected network in the left pane, the wallet only allows adding a **Polygon-compatible** account at this moment, Since **Polygon** is the **currently selected network** . You can enter a custom name for the new account, and the "Add account" button becomes active once the name field is filled. To add an account for a **different** network, simply switch to another network from the left sidebar, and the modal will update accordingly to reflect that network's requirements.
**Key points:**
* Modal is specific to the currently selected network (e.g., Polygon).
* Allows adding only **currently selected network** accounts at this stage.
* You can enter a **custom name** for the new account.
* **"Add account"** button is enabled once the name field is not empty.
* To add an account on another network:
* Switch to a different network from the **left sidebar**.
* The modal will update based on that network's **compatibility and rules**.
This is the **"Import account**" modal, allowing users to bring in **existing accounts** using either a **Keystore file** or a **private key**. The modal clearly warns that imported accounts won't be linked to the user's **Secret Recovery Phrase**, meaning they can only be restored in the future using the **same Keystore file or private key**. This ensures users understand the importance of securely storing these credentials.
**Key points:**
* Enables importing accounts via:
* **Keystore file**
* **Private key**
* Imported accounts are **not associated** with the Secret Recovery Phrase.
* To restore these accounts later, users must retain:
* The **original Keystore file**, or
* The **exact private key**
* Emphasizes the need for **secure backup and storage** of credentials.
This screen allows the user to add a **hardware wallet** account. It presents two supported hardware wallet options: **Ledger** and **Trezor**. The user can select their preferred device to connect and manage their accounts securely through the **physical wallet**, ensuring enhanced security for transactions and private key storage.
**Key points:**
* Lets users connect a **hardware wallet** for added security.
* **Supported devices**:
* **Ledger**
* **Trezor**
* Helps manage accounts while keeping **private keys offline**.
* Enhances protection against phishing, malware, and keyloggers.
* Ideal for users seeking **secure transaction signing** and **cold storage** options.
