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.
