## **Mobile Users**

### **STEP 1 – Set up Metamask**

Download the Metamask app from [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.metamask\&hl=en_SG\&gl=US) or the [Apple Store.](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/metamask-blockchain-wallet/id1438144202)

Next, Metamask will prepare to give you your [Secret Recovery Phrase](https://community.metamask.io/t/what-is-a-secret-recovery-phrase-and-how-to-keep-your-crypto-wallet-secure/3440). These 12 words are the **ONLY WAY** to restore MetaMask accounts if you forget the password. You must store this phrase somewhere safe.
