## MetaMask Password <a href="#id-8202" id="id-8202"></a>

Create a password to be used to secure your MetaMask plugin. This is so that no-one can see your account info without entering the password.

**Wallet Secret Backup Phrase**

Your new wallet will have a secret backup phrase. This is for recovering your wallet and must be kept secret. You should write down these words on a piece of paper and store them in a secure location in case of an issue requiring the recovery of your wallet.
