With the recent posting of news about the GameStop Wallet & Extension, I thought it right to make a quick guide on how to backup your passphrase to have it on-hand and ready to migrate if needed.

Due to the regulatory uncertainty of the crypto space, GameStop has decided to remove its iOS and Chrome Extension wallets from the market on November 1, 2023.

We advise that all customers ensure that they have access to their Secret Passphrase by October 1, 2023.

MAJOR NOTE: NEVER SHARE YOUR PASSPHRASE WITH ANYONE! ANYONE ASKING FOR YOUR PASSPHRASE IS A SCAMMER. Stay safe.

Mobile: Open Wallet > Click ‘Profile’ at bottom right > Select ‘Backup secret phrase’ > Read what it says and then hit ‘Reveal Secret Phrase’

**WRITE THESE WORDS DOWN!** Like on actual paper and store somewhere safe. This is how you will import your wallet somewhere else in the future.


Chrome Extension: Log in to GS Wallet Chrome Extension > Click your avatar circle icon in the top right of the extension when it is open > Click Settings > Scroll down and hit ‘Export Secret Phrase’ > Read what it says, enter your password again and hit ‘Export Secret Phrase’ again

**WRITE THESE WORDS DOWN!** Like on actual paper and store somewhere safe. This is how you will import your wallet somewhere else in the future.


If you have any questions - please let me know! I’d be glad to help walk folks through it. Just remember to secure your passwords.

Remember - NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR CRYPTO! Same goes for stonks! NOT YOUR NAME, NOT YOUR SHARES!

    Of course, my pleasure. There are already some pings from the Loopring folks on social as well as the Telos video stating how onboarding needs to be a lot more frictionless.

    I’m sure someone will have more extensive guides ands moving over actual IMX / L2 stuff like one of the other wallets.
