# Backup Your Secrets

### Back Up Your Recovery Phrase (or private key) Immediately

After creating a new wallet, back it up right away:

1. If it's your first time opening the wallet, just click on the "**Back up now**" button of the banner

4. Copy or write down your recovery phrase.

⚠️ For your security:

* The phrase will **only stay in your clipboard for 60 seconds**.
* You **won't be able to screenshot** the recovery phrase.
* The recovery phrase display window is **hidden by default** — you’ll need to tap to reveal it.

**👉 Store the phrase offline on paper or metal, never online.**
