{% endstep %}

**Create a password**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Now let's get your secret recovery phrase so you can access your MetaMask wallet from anywhere in the world. **Click Secure my wallet**

**Click Reveal Secret Recovery Phrase**

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Now you will see your recovery phrase**

This should be written down on paper so you can store it somewhere safe.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Note:** Never take a screenshot of your recovery phrase, store in Notepad, etc. This should be written down on paper and put somewhere safe. Anyone with these 12, 18, or 24 words can access your wallet, and therefore any of your assets witin.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Now we need to verify the words and **click Confirm**

This step helps you confirm you've taken them down correctly.

**Congratulations!**

You've now successfully created an Ethereum wallet.
{% endstep %}

Next you'll need to [**Add Arbitrum**](https://docs.autonomi.com/token/using-autonomi-tokens/holding/add-arbitrum-network) and [**import the token contract**](https://docs.autonomi.com/token/using-autonomi-tokens/holding/import-the-autonomi-token) so you can see and use Autonomi Network Tokens…
