📱Attach QR-Signer

Polkadot Vault

Adding external QR signers, such as Polkadot Vault (Parity Signer), is a lifesaver and a crucial feature, as it allows you to sign transactions from your mobile wallet.

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 Attach QR-Signer button, as shown below.

When you click Attach QR-Signer, you’ll see a page where you should position the QR code in front of your camera. The extension will automatically scan the code and proceed to the next page.

On this page you should choose a name for account then, click Add account to add the account to the extension.
