## Creating a wallet
Creating wallet is very simple. All you need to do is to follow the instructions given when you first launch the app.

5. If you're like me who selected "Create a new wallet", you should see this page. This will ask you for your password which will prompt you every time you launch the app.

6. Once you're done setting up your password, you will be directed to a page with your seed phrase. **You should store your passphrase securely and not send it to anyone.**

## How do I request more tokens from the faucet?
The amazing thing about Glass Wallet is that we have built-in a faucet into the wallet which allows you to request for a devnet token on the SUI blockchain. Here are the steps to request for a token from the faucet

1. Select the menu at the top right
