# Import via Passphrase

You can import your existing Substrate or EVM account using your Mnemonic Passphrase.

{% hint style="warning" %}
⚠️ Store your mnemonic passphrase privately and **NEVER** share it with anyone ⚠️

Admins will **never** DM you first and will never request anything from you — if you see a person sending you a message with the same photo & name that admins have — it's a scam.

Admins will **never** ask you for crypto/private key/seed phrase. Do **NOT** open links from anyone in DMs to “verify/synchronize your wallet” or any requests to “fill Google form” — these people are trying to scam you. Please Report and block them.

**If you share your passphrase with anyone they will then have control of your account and your assets.**
{% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.novawallet.io/nova-wallet-wiki/wallet-management/import-an-existing-wallet/import-via-passphrase.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
