[Ethereum] how to import the wallet generated from geth into parity through the passphase

importparityparity-walletwallets

I have create a eth wallet by using geth, which is a go-lang based ethereum command line interface.

~ geth account new
 WARN [08-13|16:57:51] No etherbase set and no accounts found as default
 Your new account is locked with a password. Please give a password. Do not forget this password.
 Passphrase:
 Repeat passphrase:
 Address: {6d28522f27971cf42efa6d100576b1b34fc63188}

Now i have the address and the passphrase, and I am trying to import this wallet into parity, however in the account UI, I can't find any option to import the wallet

any ideas?


By using the geth accout list command, I can find my account keystore file.
But still in working with Parity to load the wallet with geth keystore option, the UI is just like the image below, i can't forward to load the keystore json file, i just installed parity two days ago.

The keystone json file is at the path in my ubuntu system

1) You need to find keystore file on your computer. It is located in folder keystore. Name of the particular file will be something like UTC--2017-12-19T09-12-08. Use search: keystore to find this folder.
2) Select Geth keystore in your Parity and upload the file you've found.
