# Create a new account with new seed phrase

### How SubWallet generates seed phrase for each account <a href="#how-subwallet-generates-seed-phrase-for-each-account" id="how-subwallet-generates-seed-phrase-for-each-account"></a>

When you create a new account on SubWallet, a 12-word phrase (also known as a **seed phrase/recovery phrase**) is generated. This phrase is essential for safeguarding your account and the assets held within the account.

{% hint style="info" %}
The seed phrase is randomly generated and consists of a series of 12 words taken from the [BIP-39 wordlist](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt). With a 12-word seed phrase out of 2048 possible words, determining the right words in the correct sequence is almost impossible 😉

**Step 5**: Your seed phrase will be shown to you. Select "**I have kept it somewhere safe**" to proceed.
