Create a MetaMask account

First download the metamask.

Choose the one that suits your device and download it!

I have downloaded the Google extension

When the extension is installed, Metamask will launch, click Start.

Select ‘Create a wallet’.

Select ‘I agree’.


The password will be the password you enter when opening the metamask, check the terms of use and ‘Create’.

Display Recovery Phrases, copy the 12 English words and click ‘Next’.

Enter the 12 recovery phrases you have just copied in order and click ‘Confirm’.

If you make a mistake, just ‘go back’ to check!

This completes the metamask set-up.

Read the instructions carefully and keep the Recovery Phrase in a safe place where no one can see it.
