You will be presented with a 12-word mnemonic, which is a recovery phrase that can be used to regenerate the private signing key stored in the wallet. It's essential to store this phrase in a safe and confidential location to retain access to your key.
On the next screen, you'll need to enter the words in the correct order to confirm you have recorded the phrase accurately.
Check the box to confirm that you've saved the recovery phrase, press Continue, and select the words in the correct order.
Give your account a name and set a password. This password will help protect your account and encrypt your keys in local storage.
