If you opt to create a new wallet you will next be prompted to set a password to secure your wallet.

Please note: Your password cannot be recovered, however, your seed phrase can always be used to restore your wallet if your password is lost or forgotten.

If you create a new wallet you will next be shown your new seed phrase. Please write this down and store it securely. On the next screen you will be prompted to select one of the seed words in your seed phrase to ensure it was recorded correctly.

After this, you will be prompted to create a Petra name. This can be used in addition to your wallet address.

Non-Custodial Wallet Safety

Non-custodial wallets offer full control over your crypto but require diligent security practices to ensure your funds stay safe.

It is of paramount importance to safeguard your seed phrase, use strong passwords, avoid online storage of seed phrases or private keys, and to consider utilizing a hardware wallet for large holdings.
