## Creating an Account <a href="#creating-an-account" id="creating-an-account"></a>

Once MetaMask has been downloaded and installed, you may proceed to create an account.

The steps to create an account are outlined below:

1. Click on the "Create a Wallet" button.
2. Create a password. This will be used when logging in to MetaMask in the same browser.
3. View your secret seed phrase and write it down on a secure location.
4. Select each phrase in order and click "Confirm".

{% hint style="info" %}
Your seed phrase will be used if you want to import your wallet to a fresh MetaMask install on a different browser and/or device.

Never give your seed phrase out to anyone. This can be used similar to your password to access your account.

Frosty developers and moderators will never ask for your seed phrase and password.

## Connecting to the Binance Smart Chain <a href="#connecting-to-the-binance-smart-chain" id="connecting-to-the-binance-smart-chain"></a>

After you create an account on MetaMask, it will default to the Ethereum Mainnet.

Frosty requires your wallet to be set to the Binance Smart Chain Mainnet.

The steps to add the BSC network are outlined below:

1\. Go to the Settings menu by clicking on the circle in the upper right hand side of the screen.
