## Create your DevTools Account

   * **Continue with Telegram**
   * **Continue with Google**
   * **Continue with Email**&#x20;
2. **Verify Your Account**
   * If you used email, check your inbox for a verification link.

## Creating Your Passkey

1. **Click “Create Passkey”**
   * After you verify your account, you’ll see an option to create a passkey with **DFNS.co**.
2. **Authorize Your Account**
   * DevTools is non-custodial, so this passkey is used to securely generate wallets and sign transactions within the app.
   * **Only your device** can access your wallets, so treat your passkey with the same care you’d give to a seed phrase.

## Backing Up Your Passkey Recovery Credentials

1. **Recovery Key Secret & Credential ID**
   * After creating your passkey, you’ll be shown two pieces of information:
     * **Recovery Key Secret**
     * **Recovery Credential ID**
2. **Download or Copy**
   * **Download** the credentials or **Copy** them to a secure location.
   * **Important:** You will only see this information once. If you lose it, you may lose access to your wallet.
3. **Store Securely**
   * Treat these credentials like seed phrases.
   * Consider using a password manager or secure offline storage to keep them safe.
