If Core Mobile is not already installed, users can download it from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store, depending on their device.

To create a new wallet, users will be presented with two options:

  • Continue with Google/Apple

  • Manually Create New Wallet (by receiving a recovery phrase)

To connect using Google or Apple

  1. Tap either Connect with Google, or Connect with Apple

  2. Select the email account from the list, or manually enter it if it's not already signed in.

  3. Choose to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or skip this step.

    1. If users choose to add MFA to their wallet, follow the prompts for the chosen method to add it to the wallet.

    2. If users have added MFA to their seedless wallet previously, they will be prompted to select one to verify the log in.

  4. Choose to opt in or out of Core Analytics by selecting Unlock.

  5. Enter a PIN and confirm it. Additionally, users can enable unlocking the wallet with Touch ID or Face ID.

  6. Name the wallet and choose a personal avatar.
