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.

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).

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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.polkagate.xyz/polkagate/polkagate-extension-user-guide/import-account/attach-qr-signer.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. 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.
