# Creating a new wallet

### **Securing your wallet**

If you opt to create a new wallet, you'll be prompted to set a **secure password**. The password must meet the following criteria: 

* Minimum of 8 characters 
* It is recommended to include an alphanumeric combination 
* Consider adding at least one special character for enhanced security.

> ***Password**: The password protects unauthorized access to your funds from the device. If you forget it, you can change it using the seed phrase.*

### **Keep safe your funds**

On the following screen, you'll need to click on "Reveal Secret Recovery Phrase". This action will unveil a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase that you must **write down and store in a secure place, accessible only to you and those you trust**.

> ***Recovery Phrase:** The seed phrase is a unique combination of words that allows full control of your funds. **NEVER** share it with anyone. If you lose it, you will lose access to your funds forever. **KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE**.*

### **Confirming your seed phrase**

Then, you will need to fill in the remaining words to verify that you have correctly written down your seed phrase.

## 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://docs.blinkgalaxy.com/learning-station/setting-up-metamask/creating-a-new-wallet.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.
