**4)** Navigate to the **"My Wallet"** tab and tap the **"Add Account`+` "** button.

**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.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Requirements for Vendor Lock-In Account**

The steps to add a Vendor Lock-In Account are the same as adding a **Custom Path Account**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://userguide.dcentwallet.com/dcent-app/create-account/how-to-add-a-custom-path-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
