# Create wallet

After installing Atom Wallets, follow these steps to create your first crypto wallet. The process takes less than a minute.

## Step 1: Allow Notifications

When you open Atom Wallets for the first time, you will see a notification permission dialog. Tap **"Allow"** to receive important transaction notifications.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend allowing notifications so you get alerted about incoming transactions and security updates.
{% endhint %}

## Step 2: Tap "Create a new wallet"

On the welcome screen, you will see the Atom Wallets logo with the tagline **"Trusted Crypto and Bitcoin wallet"**. You have two options:

* **Create a new wallet** — Start fresh with a brand new wallet
* **Add existing wallet** — Import a wallet using your seed phrase

Tap **"Create a new wallet"** to continue.

## Step 3: Set Your 6-Digit PIN

Enter a **6-digit PIN code** that you will use to unlock the app. Choose a PIN that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.

**Remember your PIN!** You will need it every time you open the app. If you forget your PIN, you may need to reinstall the app and restore your wallet using your seed phrase.
{% endhint %}

## Step 4: Confirm Your PIN

Re-enter the same 6-digit PIN code to confirm it.
