The easiest and quickest way to get started with Family is to create a new wallet with your phone or email. Your wallet will be backed up to Pocket, Family’s dedicated self-custody account service, and secured by your passkey or a password. You can also backup existing wallets to your Pocket account.
How to create your first wallet
Here’s how to crate a self-custodial wallet(s) with just an email or phone number:
- Select Create a New Wallet.
- Enter your phone or email address.
- Enter the verification code sent to you.
- Create a passkey when prompted using Face ID.
