No one should have access to this phrase, because otherwise you will most likely lose your funds. Click <Backed Up>.

5. To test yourself, click the mnemonic words in order, and confirm that you have backed up correctly. Click <Confirm>.
6. Enter a transfer password. This password will be requested every time you log in to the wallet. Don’t forget this password!
7. Your wallet has been successfully created. Now you can configure it for further work.
8. Now we will add all the coins we need to the wallet. Click <+> and enter “BTCB” in the <Search> field.
