Uniswap Wallet is a non-custodial, self-managed crypto wallet developed by the Uniswap team. As part of the decentralized finance (DeFi) movement, it allows users to swap, hold, and manage tokens on the Ethereum and compatible networks—without relying on centralized exchanges. Since the wallet is non-custodial, the concept of "logging in" works a bit differently compared to traditional platforms.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through what "login" means for Uniswap Wallet, how to securely access your account, and what to do if you lose access to your wallet.

Double-check for typos or incorrect phrase order. Even one incorrect word will prevent login. Ensure you are entering your phrase in the right order with spaces between each word.
You can log in on another device by importing the same recovery phrase. Once imported, your wallet and token balances will be restored.
