  2. Next, we need to set Credential for our wallet. See the picture below.


    guide etrnl wallet set credential

    Wallet Name is typically like our username for our wallet. We can use string (both upper case or lower case), number, and space as well. We can specify it with our Name or even our Organization Name.


    Password (or Spending Password) is password as usual we use for credential access to authorization the application. We must use at least 12 chars, at least have 1 or more Upper case, at least 1 or more numeric, at least 1 or more special char such as ! , # , @ , etc. Tips : this field have password strength checker. Once our password is strong, then we are good to go.


    Repeat Password is just confirm our password. Just input our previous password as well.


    After all fields full filled correctly, the button Save will be enabled. Otherwise, its disabled.


    Attention ! Important thing ! we need to take a note this Wallet Name and especially Spending Password. Because every time we doing transaction such as send crypto asset/NFT, we must submit the Spending Password. This is security layer for preventing our asset/NFT is transfered into another wallet without our permission. We can write down it on paper note or digital note like notepad.


  3. In this step, we will see option how many account we want in the ETRNL Wallet. This is basic feature of ETRNL wallet, which can hold multiple account up to 24 accounts. In which each account can do unique action, such as transactions or stake delegation. The default value is 1 account. So, for simple step, lets just use the default 1. Or, if you need explore multiple account, just go ahead some number (12 is good too). Then click Save button.

  4. This step is just warning and we need to pay attention for the next step. That we will get passphrase for our wallet. Just check that box 'I confirm that nobody can see my screen, because anyone who knows my recovery phrase will be able to spend the funds in my wallet' and then click continue.

  5. Here we go, now we are in crucial step for our wallet. The ETRNL Wallet generated 24 phrases for us. Its called PASSPHRASE. This is security layer for ensure our wallet is unique and not collide with another peoples wallet. It is difficult for remember all of 24 phrases, so we must write it down to notes (up to you either physical or digital note). Because we will always need this phrases every time we restore or access our wallet in another device. Once you done rewrite it on notes, lets check 'Yes, I wrote it down carefully' and then click Continue button.

    ATTENTION ! IMPORTANT ! don't lost or forget this passphrases because this as your key for access your wallet and all of asset within. Once you lost or forget, then all your asset is lost permanently. So, please handle and save it carefully. NOT YOU KEY, NOT YOUR ASSET.


  6. And then, we are in the final step. Before we get our wallet dashboard, we must enter all of 24 passphrase. Take a look our note and retype it to confirm in this step. Once we done, check the box 'I understand that the only way to recover my wallet if my computer is lost, broken, stolen or stops working is to use my wallet recovery phrase' and click Continue button.
