It's asking me to either "Create New Wallet" or "Restore Wallet". Which one should I choose?<br><br>Choose "Create New Wallet" if this is your first time using Miden and you don't have an existing seed phrase. This will generate a new, unique wallet for you. Only select "Restore Wallet" if you are recovering an existing Miden wallet using a 24-word seed phrase you previously wrote down and saved. Clicking "Create New Wallet" will immediately take you to the most critical step: displaying your new seed phrase.<br><br>Why does Miden use a 24-word seed phrase instead of something shorter?<br><br>Miden uses a 24-word phrase because it provides a significantly higher level of security against brute-force attacks compared to shorter 12-word phrases. The number of possible combinations for a 24-word phrase is astronomically large. This makes it practically impossible for someone to randomly guess your phrase, even with advanced computing power. It is a stronger foundation for securing your assets.<br><br>What is the single most important thing I must do when the seed phrase is shown?<br><br>Write it down on paper. Do not copy it to your computer's clipboard, do not save it in a text file, and do not take a screenshot.

The safest method remains offline, physical storage. If you must use a password manager, understand you are accepting the risk that the manager's database could be compromised, which would give an attacker complete control over your wallet.<br><br>I finished setup. What happens if I uninstall the extension or get a new computer? How do I get my wallet back?<br><br>Your wallet exists on the blockchain, not inside the extension. The extension is just a tool to access it. To regain access from any new device, you simply reinstall the [https://web3-extension.com/wallet/miden.php Connect Miden Wallet to dApp] wallet extension and select "Restore Wallet." You will then enter the exact 24-word seed phrase you wrote down during setup. As long as you have that phrase, you can always recover your wallet and funds. This is why protecting the seed phrase is the most important task.<br></div>DDPPhilomena
