You can create a new Phantom wallet in two ways:

• Google or Apple account: Sign in with your Google or Apple account and if prompted, set a four-digit PIN.
• (Browser extension only) Secret Recovery Phrase: Receive a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase that gives you full control of your wallet. Write it down and store it securely offline.

Both wallets are self-custodial, which means only you control your wallet and assets. Phantom never holds your recovery phrases, private keys, and does not control your assets. We will not be able to help you if your credentials are lost.
