# Sign In with external wallet

Bolt supports an additional feature as part of the authentication flow, which is Exporting External Wallet. This feature allows you to export a wallet created outside Bolt (like using [Züs CLI tools](/zus-docs/clis.md)) and use it to log into Bolt and all the other apps.

To export an external wallet, you'll need to do the following:

1. Navigate to [Bolt ](https://bolt.holdings)and log out if you have already logged in before.
2. From the homepage, click "Sign Up"

3. Register with your phone number and enter the OTP as mentioned [here](/zus-docs/webapps/bolt/authentication-flow.md).
4. Now in the "Backup Your Mnemonics" screen, click "Add External Wallet"

5. Enter the mnemonics of your wallet, either in plain format or in numbered format, then click "Verify Mnemonics".

6. You'll then be prompted to add a username and a password if you want to securely save your wallet to the cloud for easy login afterwards, or select "No" next to "Save Key to Cloud?" if you prefer not to save it. Enter them if you want, then click "Continue".

That's it! You'll then be logged in to Bolt using you wallet. You can see your wallet and switch between your registered wallets using the Wallet Management component at the top right corner of the page.
