  3. If creating a new wallet:

    • Create a strong password.

    • You'll be shown a 12-word seed phrase. This is crucial for recovering your wallet.

    • Write down your seed phrase on paper and store it securely offline. Never share it with anyone.

    • Confirm your seed phrase by entering the words in the correct order.

  4. If importing a wallet:

    • Enter your existing 12-word seed phrase.

    • Create a new password for this instance of your wallet.

4. Secure Your Wallet

  • Enable two-factor authentication if available.

  • Consider using a hardware wallet for additional security.

  • Never share your private keys or seed phrase with anyone.

  • Be cautious of phishing attempts and only interact with official websites and apps.
