  3. After the creation is successful, click Backup Wallet and follow the prompts to back up the mnemonic phrase (12 English words). The mnemonic phrase is the only credential for wallet recovery, so please keep it safe and do not disclose it to others. Once lost, it cannot be recovered, and any loss will be your responsibility.
