How to Export a Account from Phantom Wallet and Import into other Wallet

Blockchain Accounts are not associated with specific Wallets, applications such as Phantom, Slope, or Metamask have been developed to provide users with a more accessible interface for conducting blockchain transactions. These wallet extensions and apps simplify the process of managing blockchain assets and interacting with the network.
With that said, you can export from one wallet and import into another. In this example, we will export an account from the Phantom Wallet and import it into a Slope Wallet.
Let's assume that you already have the Phantom Wallet add-on configured.
The next step is to install the Slope Wallet.
In this example, we are using a Chrome extension.
When you start your extension wallet (Slope, in this case), it will ask you to create a New Wallet or Import an Existing One. In this case, we will choose to import the wallet.
The requirement here is the seed phrase (maybe you remember when you created your wallet, like Phantom Wallet, they asked you to write down those 12 words. This is the seed phrase). This is an important point here. The seed phrase is the key to your wallet. Whoever possesses the seed phrase has control of the account and the wallet. So, please do not share this seed phrase with anyone.
If you already have the seed phrase written down, you can enter it into Slope.
If you don't have it here is how:
Click on the icon in the top left of your Phantom Wallet to access settings.
Inside settings, select Security & Privacy.
Then, show the secret recovery phrase.
Type your password and click next.
Now you have your 12 words, which is the seed phrase. Please write it down on paper. Do not copy and paste. And remember, do not share your seed phrase with anyone! (This seed phrase here is for education only and will be deleted.)
Now importing your wallet into the Slope Wallet is easy.
Type down the 12 words (seed phrase) and the 'Next' button will become available. If you write a wrong word, a missing word, or misspell a word, you will get an error: 'There is no wallet related to those mnemonic words.' Please check carefully.
Set a password that will protect your wallet.
And you're done!
You have exactly the same account you had in the Phantom Wallet, now imported into the Slope Wallet.
Always access the official website. Even if you find a link like this one! Always check if the website is legit.
