How to create a new wallet in the Uniswap Extension

Walk through the creation of a brand‑new wallet inside the Uniswap Extension — including password setup and recovery phrase backup.

You are able to create a new wallet directly in the Uniswap Extension.

How to create a new wallet:

  1. Open the Uniswap Extension in your browser and select “Create an account”.
  2. Optionally, create a username.
  3. Create and confirm a password for your wallet. Remember to write down your Uniswap Extension password and store it in a safe place. If you forget or lose this password, Uniswap Labs cannot help you retrieve it. You will need your recovery phrase to access your wallet.
  4. Select “Continue”.
  5. Open the Uniswap Extension by clicking Command + Shift + U (for Mac) or Control + Shift +U (for PC) at the same time on your keyboard.
  6. Remember to write down & save your recovery phrase so that you always have access to your wallet. You can access your recovery phrase in your settings.
  7. Congratulations! You have successfully created a new wallet in the Uniswap Extension.
