Create a New Wallet by Generating a Seed Phrase

You can create a Phantom wallet using a secret recovery phrase (also known as a seed phrase) for full control and compatibility with other wallet apps.

To create a wallet by generating a seed phrase in the browser extension:

1. If you are a new user, select Create New Wallet and then Create a seed phrase wallet to set up an account using a seed phrase.
2. Create a password and check the box to agree to Phantom’s Terms of Service. This password unlocks Phantom on your current device only.
3. Your secret recovery phrase will now be shown. Write it down and store it in a secure, offline location.
4. After securing your phrase, select Continue.
5. On the next screen, you’ll be prompted to create a usernamestrong>. A random available name will be suggested, but you can personalize it if you wish.
6. Finally, locate the Phantom icon in your browser’s toolbar. In Chrome, it appears in the top-right corner.
7. If you don’t see it, click the puzzle piece icon to view your extensions and pin Phantom for easier access.

🔒 Important: Store your secret recovery phrase in a secure, offline location. Neither we or Phantom have access to your phrase and will never ask for it. If someone gains access to your phrase, they will have full control of your wallet and funds—permanently.
