## Written Guide

Importing a wallet has never been easier. Simply import your Web3 wallet using your private keys or seed phrase.

## You will see 2 options:

* **"Create a wallet"**
* **"I already have a wallet"**

## "Create a Wallet"

**Step 1:** Click on "Create a wallet"

**Step 3:** On the next page you will see your 12 unique word-keys which you will have to store somewhere safe. That's your seed-phrase and if someone gets access to those words your wallet might get compromised.\
**Step 4:** Enter the 3 words to confirm the captcha.
