**What is a seed phrase?**

A seed phrase is a series of 12 to 24 random words assigned to your account to be used as a private key to access your wallet (account) when required.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**CAUTION**

Keep your wallet safe from the perils of the crypto world! Do not unveil your seed phrase in anyone's presence or share it with anybody under any situation.

Do not store your seed phrase on any digital third-party application, or handheld device; they are more likely to get stolen or hacked.\
In general, do not store your seed phrase on an online service, and do not store in a local file either.

Instead, write the seed phrase on a piece of paper and keep it in a secret place, such as a safety box. You can also rely on a metal backup tool, such as Ledger's Cryptosteel Capsule.
{% endhint %}

10\. After noting down the seed phrase, click **Next**.
