# Create a master password

At the start of your journey with us, we always ask you to create a master password.

**Step 1**: Open the [SubWallet Web dashboard](https://web.subwallet.app/welcome) and select any method you want in order to set up your wallet.

If you want to set up your wallet with the **"Create a new account"** and **"Import an account"** options, skip **Step 3** and go straight to **Step 4**.
{% endhint %}

**Step 3:** After clicking "**Continue**", you will need to perform this step if you choose one of the following methods from **Step 1**:

* Connect wallet
* Attach an account
* Add watch-only wallet

Depending on the method you choose, read the guide in the appropriate tab to suit your needs:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Connect wallet" %}
Select the wallet you want to connect.&#x20;

* Talisman
* Polkadot{.js}
  {% endhint %}

After selecting your wallet, head over to **Step 4**.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Attach an account" %}
Select the option you want to attach your account:

After selecting your wallet, head over to **Step 4**.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Add watch-only wallet" %}
This option appears to be disabled at first, but once you enter the address & the account name, you can hit the "Add watch-only wallet" button to attach your account to SubWallet Web dashboard.

After selecting your wallet, head over to **Step 4**.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

**Step 4:** Enter a strong password with at least 8 characters and tick "**I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password**".

{% hint style="warning" %}
Password should contain **at least** 1 uppercase letter, 1 number, and 1 special character.
{% endhint %}

You've successfully created a master password in SubWallet! Now, you have the power to manage multiple accounts with just one master password effortlessly.

{% hint style="info" %}
Depending on the option you chose in Step 1, read the corresponding guide after creating a master password to complete the setup:

* If you chose "**Create a new account**", read this guide.
* If you chose "**Import an account**", read this guide.
* If you chose "**Attach an account**" and did not choose "*Attach watch-only account*", read this guide.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Once applied, you can also change your password if you so wish. Please note that you will need your current password to confirm the change.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
In order to change your password, you would need to remember your old password. This function cannot help you if you forget your password and want to restore it.&#x20;

If you forgot or lost your password, you would need to import the account again via seed phrase, JSON file, private key, or QR code, and then set up a new password.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Last but not least, the password would allow you to lock & unlock your wallet if you so wish.&#x20;
