# Create a new account with new seed phrase
### How SubWallet generates seed phrase for each account
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 😉

### Create a new account after successfully installing SubWallet
**Step 1**: After installing SubWallet, open the app and tap "**Create a new account**".
**Step 2**: Make sure you read all the Terms of Use by hitting the scroll-down button and agree with them by ticking the box beside "**I understand and agree to the Terms of Use, which apply to my use of SubWallet and all of its feature**". Once done, click "**Continue**".
**Step 3:** Enter a strong password with at least 6 characters and tick "**I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password**". Once done, click "**Continue**".

Password should contain at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 number, and 1 special character.
{% endhint %}
**Step 4**: Keep your seed phrase safe by tapping all the checkboxes to confirm you understand the importance of your seed phrase, then click "**Continue**".
{% hint style="warning" %}
Anyone with access to your seed phrase can gain control over your funds.

If, for instance, you forget your password, you will need your seed phrase to import the account again and set up a new password.
{% endhint %}
