Created by Tony Licavoli, Modified on Thu, 18 Sep at 11:04 AM by Tony Licavoli


This guide will walk you through the initial steps of creating an account using Anchor for Android. Once complete, you will have an account available to use with your network of choice.





Step 1
Add Account

This is the first screen you will see after you install Anchor on Android

  




To proceed, press “Add Account





Step 2

Create Account


On this screen, you can also Recover your account via a
document called an “Owner Key Certificate” or you can
import an account using its private key.

Both of these options are be covered in greater depth in the following tutorials: Account Import and Account Recovery

Press "Create Account" to continue


Step3
Select Account Type


You can select a free account or purchase an account


For the free account, you will need to install Metamask, the EOS Wallet Snap, and then enter your social media credentials which will get you one account


For the purchasable account, there's nothing more to download and you can create as many accounts as you'd like


Press "Purchase Account" to continue



Step 4
Select Token


Here you can select from a multitude of Antelope-based networks, such as Vaulta, WAX, and Telos, as well as the Vaulta Testnet Jungle4

  

For today’s example, we’ll be selecting “Vaulta Account





Step 5
Account Name


This is where you will select your account name. You can create a name of your own or let “Random Name” select one for you


There are a couple of important criteria to consider for choosing your account name


- Can use no more than 8 characters

- Will include “.gm” at the end

- Names with particular words will not be created


Once a name has been created, select “Continue




Step 6
Confirm Information

This screen will confirm your information and preferred
method of security. “Biometry” and “Passcode" are both available options for security


Once you are ready, select “Create Account” to move on


Note: At this point and going forward, you will be prompted
to authorize activity in Anchor via your preferred security
method




Step 7
Account Created

At this point, your account is created and is ready
for use. You can choose to backup your account now or press "Later" to return to the Home Screen

 

We highly recommended that you
backup your account by creating an Owner Key Certificate


If you do not backup your account,
you will not be able to recover your account, in case of an
emergency
