After installation, MetaMask should open as a page in your browser. If it does not, click on the MetaMask icon in the upper right corner (MetaMask Icon) to start the process.
Once you have clicked on "Get Started", you are offered to import or create a wallet. Click on Create a wallet.
MetaMask then asks you to collect your data to improve the application. It is not mandatory, you can accept it by clicking on I agree or I refuse.
After that, you need to create a password to secure your wallet. This is because MetaMask keeps your private keys locally in your browser, and the password encrypts So you're the owner of your funds. Read and accept the Terms of Use to continue.
Finally, MetaMask will ask you to record a 12-word recovery phrase. This phrase will allow you to recover your funds in case your device is broken, lost or stolen. You can reinstall MetaMask and import this phrase to restore the wallet. Be sure to keep this phrase safe.
⚠️ Warning: this phrase gives you full access to the funds placed in MetaMask, so you must keep it secret.
Never share it to anyone, not even with the staff.
MetaMask will then ask you to confirm the recovery phrase to make sure you have saved it. That's it! Your account is now created and you should be able to use it.
