# How to Get a Metamask wallet

Using a Web 3 wallet along with a user sign up process allows you to hold your own data, crypto, NFTs and insurance cover. This gives power back to the user over their assets and data.

Day By Day recommends using Metamask when using the  Day By Day decentralised insurance platform.

To download Metamask:

1. Go to <https://metamask.io>
2. Download for your web browser or phone, depending on your preference
3. Click create a wallet
4. Set a password - this is a Metamask password, not your private key and will be used to sign transactions, interact with web 3 apps and more.
5. You will receive a secret backup phrase. Ensure you store this in a secure location - never share your secret backup phrase with anyone.
6. Complete! Your wallet address will be shown here. Clicking this button will copy your address to your clipboard for if you want to receive airdrops.\
