**5)** Search for BTC and select the entry with a number appended to BTC **(e.g., BTC - 5757)**.

**6)** Name your account (optional) to complete the account addition.

Likewise, you can also add custom path accounts for networks such as ETH or BNB.

## Add a Vendor Lock-In Account

The **"Vendor Lock-In Account"** is a type of custom path account that enables the creation of wallet addresses compatible with external wallets such as MetaMask or Phantom Wallet.

If you've recovered a wallet in D'CENT using a mnemonic phrase created by an external wallet but some addresses appear differently, adding a Vendor Lock-In Account allows you to use the same addresses as those created in the external wallet.
