This guide explains how to create a new Phantom wallet by signing in with your Google or Apple account.
A wallet created this way is sometimes called a seedless wallet or email wallet. Instead of entering a Secret Recovery Phrase during setup, you sign in with your Google account or Apple ID and create a four-digit PIN.
You will use your email and PIN to restore your wallet on a new device or after resetting the app.
Your wallet also has a Secret Recovery Phrase (12 words), which you can export as an additional backup option.
