1.After installing the Metamask plugin, if you want to import into MetaMask a wallet that you already have, click on “Import with seed phrase”.

This will open the following window, in which you have to type the 12 words of your “Seed” in the field “Wallet Seed”.

Later, in the field below, create a password and click “OK”.

2.If you need to create a new wallet, in the previous window, choose a new password (“New Password”) and confirm it (“Confirm Password”).

As suggested by the text, the password must be at least 8 characters (“min 8 chars”). But I advise you to choose a longer and complex password, consisting of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

Click on “Create”. Click on “Accept” in the following screens about Terms of Use, Privacy Notice and Phishing Warning.

3.This screen will be shown to you:

Click on “Click here to reveal secret words” and get a sheet of paper to write down the 12 words that compose your “Seed” in the “precise order” in which they are shown to you, or you can download the phrase and keep it in a safe place by clicking on “Download this secret backup phrase”.

The 12 words are the only way to restore your MetaMask account, if you lose the password you created in the previous step. Or if you delete the plugin and then reinstall it, or if you want to import your account by logging in from a new browser or a new computer.

Remember that who has access to those 12 words also has access to your funds. Therefore preserve the 12 words so that only you (or people you trust) can access them.

Also, keep in mind that if you lose the 12 words your funds will be locked forever. Therefore, consider the opportunity to create more copies to be kept in different places.

4.After clicking on NEXT, you will see a screen where you have to enter the 12 words in the exact order by selecting them from those suggested by the plugin, and confirm.

5.On the next screen, click on “View account” and you will be shown the qr code and the address of your ethereum wallet that you can use to buy FidelityHouse Tokens.
