**Step 3:** Create a master password with at least 8 characters and tick "**I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password**".&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
SubWallet is non-custodial, so you will be the only person who knows your password; we can't help you restore it once it is lost. Make sure that your password is well-kept.
{% endhint %}

Once done, click "**Continue**".
