## Step 3: Back Up Your 12-Word Mnemonic Phrase
5353

5454
The wallet will generate a 12-word mnemonic phrase. This is your master recovery phrase.
5555

5656
- Write it down in the correct order
5757
- Store it offline in a secure place
58-
- Do not save it in screenshots, notes apps, or cloud storage
58+
- Avoid screenshots or unsecured cloud storage

The UI also lets you copy the phrase or download it as a `.txt` file, but offline storage is still the safest option.

Select **Next** after you have stored it securely.

6468
You will be asked to enter 3 of the 12 words to confirm your backup.
6569

6670
- Enter each requested word in the correct numbered field
