How do I create multiple wallets on the same computer?
With Exodus Desktop, you can create additional user accounts on the same computer, allowing you to keep different wallets for different purposes.
When a new user opens the Exodus app, Exodus automatically creates a new wallet for that user. To create multiple wallets, follow the steps below.
Only Exodus Desktop allows you to create multiple wallets on the same device. However, you can create multiple portfolios on Exodus Desktop and Exodus Web3 Wallet. The multiple portfolio feature in Exodus Mobile is no longer available for new wallets created after April 22, 2026.
First, you'll need to create an additional user account to set up multiple Exodus Desktop wallets:
MacOS: To help create a new user, visit Apple's guide: Add a user or group on Mac.
Windows: To help create a new user, visit Windows' guide: Manage User Accounts in Windows.
Linux: Process may vary depending on your distribution. For an example of how to create a new user on Debian, visit this guide from Linuxize: How to Add and Delete Users on Debian 13.
If you've already installed Exodus on one user, Exodus will usually also be available when you switch to a new user. If not, you can download Exodus from our website again: Download Exodus.
Switching to the new user and opening Exodus will automatically generate a new wallet for that user, which you can use immediately.
Each user account can only have one Exodus wallet. However, you can use the same steps to create additional user accounts for more wallets.
Each wallet you create is tied to a unique 12-word secret key and can only be restored with that specific secret key. With multiple wallets, it's essential you back up the secret key for all your wallets: How do I always have access to my wallet with my 12-word secret key?
What's the difference between multiple wallets and portfolios?
Two methods exist for creating separate crypto addresses with Exodus to organize your crypto.
You can create multiple wallets or add portfolios within an existing Exodus wallet. You can even combine them and have multiple wallets and portfolios simultaneously.
