Warning: If you already have two different wallets, each with some funds in it, this procedure will erase one of them. The 12-word phrase from the desktop wallet will replace the 12-word phrase in your mobile wallet and, as a consequence, all the addresses of all coins and private keys will also be replaced. We suggest first moving all of your assets from one wallet to another, before proceeding.
If you do not, however, have any funds in your mobile wallet or you don't have a mobile wallet, to begin with, you can proceed.

Make sure that you have saved your 12-word backup phrase offline in a safe place and that you have it at hand at the time of the procedure. How to view your recovery phrase in the wallet.
