# First Access

In order to protect your wallet, it is necessary to set a password.

This will protect you from incorrect actions (*in fact, for many more sensitive actions the jWallet will ask you to confirm by asking for your password before proceeding*) or tampering with your device.

## <mark style="color:purple;">**Set your password**</mark>&#x20;

When you first open the jWallet, the first thing you will see is a Welcome screen and a 'Get Started' button.

Clicking on it will take you to the section for setting your password:

Before proceeding, you should know that:

1. Your password must be at least 8 characters long,
2. You must repeat your password twice (necessary to confirm it),
3. If you have any doubts about the password you have entered, you can click on the eye to the right of the text box in order to see it (make sure you are away from prying eyes),
4. You must confirm that you have read and agree with the jWallet [<mark style="color:purple;">**Terms of Use**</mark>](https://jigstack.gitbook.io/jproducts/jwallet/terms-of-use-tba)**.**&#x20;

Once you have completed this, the "CREATE" button will be activated and you can continue.

Now you are just a few steps away from using your Jwallet, in the nexts steps you will be able to:

* Create a new account from scratch (<mark style="color:purple;">**`CREATE WALLET`**</mark> button)
* Import an existing account (<mark style="color:purple;">**`Import or connect your wallet`**</mark> at the bottom of the page)

Now let's see how to proceed in both cases
