  • No customer support can recover lost seed phrases

  • Use at your own risk for cryptocurrency operations

Check "I agree with SSP Wallet Disclaimer" only after reading and understanding the terms.

Click "Create Wallet" to proceed to seed phrase generation.

Step 5: Backup Your Seed Phrase (CRITICAL)

🚨 MOST IMPORTANT STEP 🚨

Your seed phrase is the master key to your wallet. This 12-word phrase can restore your wallet if you lose access to this device.

⚠️ CRITICAL SECURITY WARNINGS:

  • 🔑 Seed phrase = Complete wallet control

  • 💸 Lost seed phrase = Lost funds PERMANENTLY

  • 📱 No customer support can recover lost seed phrases

  • 🚫 Never store digitally (no photos, no cloud, no digital notes)

  • ✏️ Only write on physical paper

Proper Seed Phrase Backup Process:

  1. Prepare Materials: Get pen and paper (not pencil)

  2. Ensure Privacy: Make sure no one can see your screen

  3. Click "Show Mnemonic Wallet Seed Phrase"

  4. Write Down All 12 Words in exact order

  5. Double-Check Spelling - every letter matters

  6. Store Securely in a safe location

Seed Phrase Storage Best Practices:

DO:

  • Write on waterproof/fireproof paper

  • Store in a safety deposit box

  • Make multiple copies in different locations

  • Keep away from digital devices

  • Tell trusted family member the location (not the words)

DON'T:

  • Take photos or screenshots

  • Store in cloud services (Google Drive, iCloud, etc.)

  • Email to yourself

  • Store in password managers

  • Share with anyone

  • Store all copies in same location

After writing down your seed phrase:

Check "I have backed up my wallet seed phrase in a secure location"

Click "Confirm" to proceed to seed phrase verification.

Step 6: Verify Your Seed Phrase Backup

To ensure you've backed up your seed phrase correctly, you'll need to confirm specific words.

Verification Process:

  1. System will ask for specific words (e.g., "What is the 3rd word?")

  2. Type the exact word from your backup

  3. Spelling must be perfect - check your written backup

  4. Complete all verification prompts

⚠️ If verification fails:

  • Go back and re-copy your seed phrase

  • Double-check spelling and word order

  • Ensure you have all 12 words written correctly

Step 7: Complete Wallet Creation

After successful seed phrase verification:

Click "Create Wallet" to finalize your wallet creation.

Wallet Creation Complete! Your SSP Wallet now holds Key #1 of your 2-of-2 multisignature system.
