**Step 6: Reveal, back up, and store your seed phrase**

MetaMask will provide you with a 12-word seed phrase. This phrase is crucial for restoring your wallet or accessing it from different devices. **Write down the seed phrase and store it in a secure place offline.** **Do not share it with anyone**, as it grants access to your wallet and its contents.
