Creating a New MetaMask Wallet Successfully

The foundational action within any non-custodial wallet is the creation of a new wallet, which inherently means generating a new seed phrase. This test validates the entire wallet creation workflow within the MetaMask Android application, focusing on clarity, security, and user confirmation. The test begins after the initial installation and launch. The user must select the “Create a New Wallet” option. The application must then present a series of clear informational screens explaining the critical importance of the seed phrase, warning the user about the risks of losing it or exposing it to others. The core part of the test is the display of the twelve or twenty-four-word secret recovery phrase. The interface must prevent screenshots, as per Android’s secure flag, to mitigate inadvertent exposure. The user must be forced to confirm the phrase by selecting the words in the correct order from a randomized list. This step is vital to ensure the user has indeed recorded the phrase accurately. Throughout this process, the design should be intuitive and not feel rushed, emphasizing the gravity of the action. A successful test concludes with the user gaining access to their new wallet’s main asset screen, confirming that the wallet was generated and stored locally on the device securely. For advanced users looking to understand the underlying protocols, resources are available at metamask that delve into the cryptographic principles used in key generation.
