# 4.2 Creating a New Wallet

After installation, the wallet must be initialized. This involves generating a new cryptographic identity.

When MetaMask is opened for the first time, the user is prompted to create a new wallet. This process requires setting a secure password, which protects local access to the wallet on the device. However, the most critical step is the generation of the Secret Recovery Phrase.

The Secret Recovery Phrase is a sequence of words that represents the underlying private key. This phrase is the only method to recover access to the wallet in case of device loss or reset. It must be stored securely and never shared under any circumstances.

Once the phrase is recorded and confirmed, the wallet becomes fully functional, and a public address is generated. This address will be used for all interactions on the FreCx network.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.frequencychain.org/4.-wallet-and-network-access/4.2-creating-a-new-wallet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
