Add Polkadot Vault Account to Nova Wallet

The following steps include actions you must perform on both your Polkadot Vault device and your Nova Wallet Device.

Actions for each device are clearly labelled below.

  1. Open Polkadot Vault, unlock, and select the derived key that you wish to add to Nova Wallet (Polkadot Vault device).

  2. A QR code of your public key will now be displayed; you can see the details of the derivation path on this screen. Make sure that you are using the correct derivation path (Polkadot Vault device).

  3. Open the Nova Wallet application and Select Already have a wallet (Nova Wallet device) .

  4. Select Hardware wallet and then select Polkadot Vault (Nova Wallet device).

  5. Select Scan QR code (Nova Wallet device). If requested, allow Nova Wallet access to your camera.

  6. Point the camera of your Nova Wallet device so that it captures the image of the QR code which is displayed on your Polkadot Vault device.

  7. Once the QR code has been successfully scanned, select Continue (Nova Wallet device).

  8. Input a nickname for your account on your Nova Wallet device and then select Continue (Nova Wallet device).

If you receive the error "QR code has an unsupported format" it is because you have not selected one of your derived keys on your Polkadot Vault device when trying to access the QR code to import your account.
