Step Four: Create New Wallet

After officially beginning the process of creating your Flint lightwallet, the platform will immediately provide your secret recovery phrase for you to store. Please make sure that (a) you write down the entire secret recovery phrase and store it somewhere safe, (b) double-check for spelling errors, and (c) ensure every word in the phrase is written down in the correct order. Once you have properly stored your recovery seed phrase in a secure location, click the “I Saved It” prompt to move onward.

Step Five: Back Up Recovery Phrase

After moving on to the next part of the set-up process, Flint will ask you to create a wallet password that will be required to send transactions from the lightwallet and interact with DApps (decentralized applications). Create a unique and secure password containing at least 10 characters, confirm the password a second time, and click “Create My Wallet.”

Before fully completing the process, Flint offers its users an extra security measure to prevent a malicious breach of your lightwallet by enabling an optional feature to create an application passcode with the goal of preventing others who have access to your device the ability to interact with your wallet. You have the option to create the passcode, or press skip to complete the process. If you would like to skip creating a passcode, click the “Skip” prompt. If you would like to create a passcode, click the “Next” prompt. For the sake of this tutorial, we will be creating the app passcode for those who may want to utilize this feature.

Once you have clicked the “Next” prompt, you will then be directed to create your four-digit application passcode and confirm the passcode a second time. Create a unique and secure passcode and click the “Confirm” prompt once comfortable with your passcode.
