When setting up your Zerion Wallet, you'll need to create a passcode for the mobile app or password for the extension. These security measures are essential to protect your wallet and prevent unauthorized access. Your password and password encrypt your recovery phrase, ensuring that even if someone gains access to your device, they cannot make transactions without the correct credentials. In this article, we'll provide tips for creating a strong and secure password.

Both the passcode and password are stored locally on your device. Zerion cannot reset or recover these credentials, so it’s crucial to remember them.
