# How to Create a BitSong wallet

We are using as example Keplr but in the "[**Wallets**](/btsg/wallets.md)" section you have other valid options as well.

1. Make sure you have installed the **Keplr** browser extension. If you don't already have it, then you can download the extension and install it from [**here**](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/keplr/dmkamcknogkgcdfhhbddcghachkejeap?hl=en)**.**

**2**. Once you have your Keplr extension installed, open it. In the new window that opens, select "*Create a new wallet*."

**3**. This is probably the most important step! Select the type of Mnemonic Key you want for your wallet (12 or 24 words). Then make sure you *save it and keep it safe* since it is the only way to import or recover your wallet in case of need.&#x20;

**Remember: NO MNEMONIC PHRASE, NO MONEY**!

So name your wallet, set a password, and proceed.

**6**. Wallet.bitsong will then execute Keplr and will ask you to **add and connect the bitsong-2b** chain. You must approve both actions by signing them with Keplr.
