When you install the PolkaGate extension, you will be prompted to set a login password. You can choose to ignore this prompt or decline to set a password. If you select “Maybe later,” the prompt will reappear after some time. If you choose “No,” you can always manage the login password later via the main menu under Settings.

If you click the “Yes” button to set a login password, you will be directed to the following page where you can create a password to secure the Polkagate extension. This password will be required to access the extension. Please note that you will still need to enter the individual password for each account when submitting transactions. The login password and account passwords can be the same or different, depending on your preference.

If you click “No” but later decide to set a login password, or if you want to change or remove an existing password, you can do so by going to the extension’s settings menu as shown below.


⚠️ Please note that if you forget your login password, it cannot be recovered, as we do not store your password for security reasons. The only way to regain access to your accounts is by using your recovery phrase or JSON file to re-import your account(s) via the “Forgot password?” option on the login page. Therefore, always ensure that your recovery options are saved in a safe place.
