For higher security we would recommend registering via recovery phrase.
If you are a beginner and are less experienced with self-custodial wallets, you can also choose to sign up with your Google or Apple IDs. (However, note that a compromised Google or Apple account can lead to loss of funds)
You can choose either 12 or 24 Recovery Phrase words for your new wallet.
🚫 DO NOT share your recovery phrase with ANYONE. Anyone with your recovery phrase can take your assets. Please stay vigilant against phishing attacks at all times.
🔒 Back up the phrase safely. You will lose your assets if you lose your recovery phrase. We recommend you always store it offline. Keplr does not store your recovery phrase.
