<p>I have a bitcoin address and a private key. What wallet can I use to import the key and address I already have? Every wallet I tried only lets you create a new address or use a 12 world recovery phase to access another wallet.</p>

<p>What wallet will let me directly import my private key &amp; address?</p>

I have a bitcoin address and a private key. What wallet can I use to import the key and address I already have? Every wallet I tried only lets you create a new address or use a 12 world recovery phase to access another wallet.

What wallet will let me directly import my private key & address?

Jaxx allows this: [howto-link](https://decentral.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/217877418-How-do-I-transfer-funds-from-a-paper-wallet-private-key-)

Or Exodus: [howto-link](http://support.exodus.io/knowledge_base/topics/can-i-import-a-private-key)

Both support multiple currencies. I would look at this [list of wallets](https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/#/overview) and if you find one that you like just google "*walletname* import private keys" too see if it's possible and how to do it.
