  1. Click 'Add account'.

  1. Save your mnemonic seed in a secure, offline medium before hitting 'I have saved my mnemonic seed safely'. Then, click 'Next'.

    • It is vital that you handle your mnemonic seed with care.

    • DO NOT share it with anyone.

    • DO NOT store it on an online device.

    • If someone obtains your mnemonic seed, they will have access to all of the coins in your account.

    • You cannot change or edit your mnemonic seed.The Aleph Zero team will never ask you to share your seed with us, even in a support scenario.

  1. Set a local name and password for the account. Confirm the password, then click 'Next'.

    • You will need to use this password when signing transactions with the account and when attempting to restore the account with the subsequently downloaded JSON files (as explained below).

      • Ensure that the words are in the correct order and are spelt correctly.

    3. Set a local name and password for the account. Confirm the password, then click 'Next'.
