👀Add Watch-only account

You can add accounts as watch-only accounts, which cannot sign transactions. However, these watch-only accounts can be used as proxied accounts, allowing them to sign transactions using an existing proxy account within the extension.

You’ll first encounter this option on the onboarding page after installing the extension — simply click the Already have accounts button and then click the Add Watch-only Account button, as shown below.

If you already have accounts in the extension and want to restore additional accounts from a file, simply open the Account Menu in the top corner and select Import Account (this will redirect you to the Already have accounts page).

Alternatively, you can go to Settings, open Account Settings, and then click Import Account.

When you click Add Watch-only Account, you’ll see a page where you should enter the address and choose a name for account. Click Add account to add the address as a watch-only account to the extension.
