# Getting started Guide

This guide walks you through the process of setting up **Thorwallet** for the first time.

### 📱 Step 1: Create a New Wallet

When you launch Thorwallet for the first time, you'll be prompted with options to either create or import a wallet.

👉 Tap **“Create Wallet”** to generate a brand new, secure wallet.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you already have an existing wallet (seed phrase or multisig vault with vault shares) , select the "Import Wallet" and follow the flow shown in the app.
{% endhint %}

### 🧑‍💻 Step 2: Set a Secure Passcode

In this step, you'll be prompted to create a **6-digit passcode**.\
This passcode is essential for protecting your wallet — it will be required every time you:

* Open the app
* Approve transactions

### 🔧 Step 3: Select the Setup Option

You'll now be presented with different wallet setup options.

👉 Choose the **first option** "Seed Phrase Wallet"

{% hint style="info" %}
Here, we're selecting the **standard seed phrase wallet** to set up a regular wallet.

👉 To set up a **multisig wallet**, choose the **second option** and refer to the [**Vaults** page](/vaults.md) for setup instructions.
{% endhint %}

### 👨 Step 4: Enable Biometrics (Optional)

On this screen, you can choose to **enable biometric authentication** for added convenience.

If enabled, you’ll be able to use your device’s **biometrics (e.g. Face ID or fingerprint)** or your passcode to:

* Unlock the app
* Approve transactions

### 📝 Step 5: Backup Your Seed Phrase

After the wallet is created, you'll see a prompt to secure your account.

👉 Tap the **message shown** to view and back up your **seed phrase**.

🔒 **Important**: Write it down and store it securely offline.\
Do **not** share it — this is your only way to recover your wallet.

That’s it! You’ve successfully set up your THORWallet.
