# Create a new account with a 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" %}
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 right sequence is almost impossible :wink:

### Create a new account on the Welcome page

{% hint style="success" %}
For each seed phrase generated from SubWallet, a unified account will be created and used to manage assets and perform transactions across **all** ecosystems.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that in order to see your assets, you will need to manually enable the networks you want to use & have assets on.&#x20;

Follow [this instruction](/main/extension-user-guide/network-management/customize-your-networks/enable-disable-networks.md) to enable the networks you want to use.
