# 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.
