# Sub-Accounts

While it's not possible to create an exact duplicate Vault (with the same number of signers, identical signer addresses, and confirmation threshold), Asigna recognizes that owners may still want a Vault with the same configuration as their main one for other use cases.

To support this need, Asigna offers **sub-accounts**. A sub-account is essentially a duplicate of the main Vault, but with a **separate address and independent balance**.

### Create Sub-Account

#### **➱ Open the Asigna multisig app**

Navigate to the Asigna multisig app in your web browser: <https://btc.asigna.io/>

#### **➱ Select the Vault**

On the homepage page select the Vault and open it by clicking the Vault preview card.

#### ➱ **Access the sidebar list of Your Vaults**

Navigate to the **sidebar menu**. On the sidebar Vault preview card click **Arrow** button.

#### ➱ **Create a Sub-account**

In the sidebar list of Your Vaults, you’ll see the currently selected Vault along with a **Create Sub-Account** button. Click the button to proceed.

{% hint style="info" %}
**There is a limit to how many sub-accounts can be created per Vault:**

* Vaults with a **single** owner don’t support sub-accounts.
* Vaults with **2** owners support only **1** sub-account per Vault.
* Vaults with **3 or more** owners support up to **5** sub-accounts per Vault.
  {% endhint %}

#### ➱ Check a new Sub-account

Once the sub-account is created it will appear in the sidebar list of Your Vaults, associated with the main Vault. The main Vault will be automatically named **Main Account.**
