2.) Choose a secret key that meets the given criteria and type it in in the field "New secret key" . For security reasons it would be best to choose a secret key with 15 characters. Your secret key should also not be identical to your login password.

3.) Type in your secret key again in the field "Confirm new secret key" and click on "Set secret key"

4.) On the next page you will receive your newly generated seed and will be shown your secret key again. Click on the eye symbol to reveal them.

5.) Write down your secret key and your seed.

Be especially careful on social media platforms (e.g. Telegram or Twitter) as scammers may pretend to be COTI support and ask for your secret key and seed or the enter your secret key and seed on a website (e.g. Wallet Connect).

6.) Click on "I've written it down".

7.) From now on when you log in at https://pay.coti.io/ with your e-mail and password you will be asked to connect with your secret key or seed by entering it in the respective field.
