How to Convert a Polkadot Wallet from Trust Wallet or Exodus to polkadot.js.org

 There is a very good write up done here (Link).  The thing is this has changed a little bit.  I also found an easier way.

If you are using Trust wallet, you will need to import your private seed phrase into exodus.  If you are already in exodus, then you don't have to do anything. 

Once in Exodus, select your polkadot wallet and click the 3 vertical dots.


Select View Private Keys.  Under the private key header, that is the key you will need later.  You will just need to add 0x in front of it.

Now follow the instructions on how to convert the raw string into something that polkadot can read.  Polkadot has instructions explained here (Link).

Once you have set up the account on the web, you will have the json file that you can import into the browser extension. 

I would recommend undoing all the changes about saving things locally back to having that not save any thing locally.  It was set to that for a reason.

Hope this helps!
