# Install the app

### Get on board with blockchain

DGMV-ID uses blockchain wallet technology and cryptography to make authentication super secure. That means you need to set up a blockchain wallet to install the app – whether you create a new one, or restore one you already have with your seed phrase.

### Set up your wallet

Download the DGMV-ID app, watch the short introduction and select ‘Create New Wallet’ or ‘Enter Seed Phrase’.

Generate a 24-word master seed phrase for your new wallet by rubbing the fingerprint icon until the progress bar fills up.

#### Remember...

Your seed phrase is the only way to access your digital identity – lose it, and you won’t be able to access your wallet. You can view your hidden seed phrase by tapping the screen. Make sure you write it down and store it somewhere safe where others can’t access it.

Don’t need to create a new wallet? Restore an existing one by importing the right 12- or 24-word seed phrase.

As soon as you’ve created or restored your wallet, you’ll need to set an app password. We also recommend enabling device biometrics for an extra layer of security – also known as multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Make sure you choose a strong password – it'll become an extra layer of security against third parties. You could even write it down alongside your seed phrase.

Make sure you understand the risk of loss and agree with the terms and conditions before using the DGMV-ID app.
