How can I add an ICP (sub-)account?

Logging into the NNS dapp using an Internet Identity creates a main account for you in the ICP ledger. 

You can create one or more linked sub-accounts or attach a hardware wallet to your account.

Step 1: Go on the 'Tokens' tab in the left menu.

Step 2: In the top table, select 'Internet Computer'.

Step 3: Select 'Add Account'.

Step 4: Select the type of account to add, which is 'New Account'.

  • New Account creates a new subaccount linked to your Main account address in the ledger.
  • New Account (Hardware Wallet) adds a hardware wallet to your main account address in the ledger.

 

Step 5: Enter an account name and hit 'Create'.

 

You now have a new account with this name in your list.
