Once u click on the download button, u will get a warning explaining that Tronlink can read and change all your data on the websites you visit. Tronlink is already online for a long time, a trustworthy company and used by a lot of users. U don’t have to be worried by installing it. Just always make sure u download the official Tronlink.
Step 2: Choose a password

The password will be a login to your wallet and therefore to your funds. It’s important that u choose a unique, long password (including a number or symbol).
Step 3: Restore account
In the next step u can choose to create a new Tron Wallet, or u can u can connect Tronlink to one of your existing Tron wallets. If u already have a Tronwallet, I advise u to use that one because u won’t have to transfer funds to play DApps or trade. Click on “Restore Account” if u want to import a Tron Wallet.
Step 4: Choose a account name
In the next step Tronlink will ask u to choose a name for your account/wallet. It has to contain at least 4 characters. The name of your wallet is used for yourself to determine which wallet this is. For example if u use more then one wallet, most people use a Tipping Wallet and a Hodl wallet. So choose a name to determine the function of your wallet of choose your username and click on “Continue”.
Step 5: Choose a type to login in your wallet
U can import a wallet by using the “Private Key” off your Tron Wallet. Or if u use for example Tronwalletme, u will get a “Mnemonic Phrase”, which is also called a SEED. This is the list of words that u get when u make a Tron wallet. Choose one of the methods to login in your wallet. In this example we will use the “Private Key“.
Step 6: Import your Private key (or Menmonic Phase)
Copy your “Private Key” or “Menomonic Phrase” and paste it in the bar and click on “Continue”.
Step 7: Congratulations, You’re wallet is connected.
Once u have imported your private key, it will connect to your wallet. It will take a few minutes before it connects and then u will be able to see your balance and use the wallet. U will be able to see a overview of your wallet like in the picture below, showing your token balances, the value in USD, the name of your wallet, your wallet address, bandwith and energy.
