# Create a New Gluwa Wallet

![](/files/pKn1qIH4ZPgwMoDNKVnH)

## Install Gluwa Mobile Application

Download and install Gluwa mobile application for either [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gluwa/id1021292326) or [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gluwa.android).

## Enter a Password and Create a New Wallet

All you need to create a new wallet is a password. We recommend using a long password to enhance your security. Make sure to write the password down in a safe place. You will need to re-enter the password to open your wallet again or make transfers.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Remember, you need both your smartphone and the password to open the wallet.

When you request to create a new wallet, Gluwa mobile app creates a random set of a private key and public key, which is your new wallet. The wallet is stored safely in the secure vault of your smartphone guarded by your password.

Also, the password is encrypted irreversibly using a hashing algorithm and the unique key of your device. Therefore, you need both your device and your password to access your wallet.

## Backup the Recovery Phrase

Right after creating a new wallet, Gluwa shows a recovery phrase of your wallet. If you either lose your device or the password, you can retrieve your wallet by submitting the recovery phrase. Nobody without the recovery phrase can recover your wallet for you.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Make sure to backup your recovery phrase. You can submit the recovery phrase to restore the wallet. This is the ONLY way to restore your wallet if you lose access to your wallet for some reason (e.g., forgetting your password or your smartphone malfunctioning). It is impossible for Gluwa or anyone to restore the wallet for you.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gluwa.com/get-started/gluwa/create-a-new-gluwa-wallet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
