Where Does Solflare Store Wallet Data on Desktop?
Solflare encrypts its Solana keys in the browser profile, with the seed phrase as the portable backup.
Last updated
Solflare stores encrypted keys inside the browser profile under Local Extension Settings\bhhhlbepdkbapadjdnnojkbgioiodbic on Chrome. The store listing confirms the ID; check it before trusting any folder, since Solana wallet phishing runs on lookalike extensions.
The 12 or 24-word phrase restores everything: SOL, tokens, NFTs and staking positions alike. Mobile keeps keys in system storage with export through the same three-dot menu. Copy profile folders only with the browser closed, and never as a substitute for the written phrase.
Where Solflare stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\bhhhlbepdkbapadjdnnojkbgioiodbic
Solflare vault under its store ID; verify the ID on the store page before touching anything. Seed phrase restores all assets; files never substitute for it.
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Local Extension Settings/bhhhlbepdkbapadjdnnojkbgioiodbic
Same extension-ID folder on macOS. Firefox builds use Firefox profile storage instead of this path.
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Local Extension Settings/bhhhlbepdkbapadjdnnojkbgioiodbic
Same extension-ID folder under the Chrome config root. Brave and Edge follow with their own vendor profile roots.
Frequently asked questions
How do I export my Solflare recovery phrase?
Open the wallet, account menu, three dots, Export Recovery Phrase, and confirm with PIN or biometrics. Do it in private; anyone watching the screen owns the funds. Paper beats screenshots.
Can Solflare support recover my wallet?
No. Solflare is user-custodial: keys never touch company servers, so support has nothing to restore. Any site claiming otherwise is the scam the docs warn about.
