Create a wallet#

Open the Terra Station desktop app and click New wallet.
Type in a secure wallet name and password.
Confirm your password.
Using a pen and paper, write down your 24-word seed phrase exactly as it appears. Number each word to make verifying easier.
Protect your seed phrase
Anyone with your seed phrase can access your money, and there is no recourse for someone stealing your seed phrase. To protect your seed phrase, consider the following tips:
- Never save or store your seed phrase as a digital file on any device.
- Always write down your seed phrase with a pen and paper.
- Store the paper with your seed phrase on it somewhere safe.
- Never give your seed phrase to anyone, not even support staff.
Verify your writing to make sure every word is spelled correctly and in the right order. If you numbered your phrase, it can be helpful to verify it backward.
Check the box ensuring you wrote down your seed phrase, and click Next.
Confirm your seed phrase by typing or selecting the correct words in each prompt.
Click Create a wallet.

Congratulations! You have just created a Terra Station wallet.

Deleting a wallet deletes the wallet name, password, and private key from your device. You can access the wallet again by entering your seed phrase or private key and password. Deleting a wallet from one device does not delete it from other devices.

Write down your seed phrase

Before you delete your wallet, always make sure you have your seed phrase and private key. Never store your seed phrase on a digital device.
