### 2. Setting a Recovery Password

After your first login, you'll be prompted to set a **recovery password**. This step is optional but highly recommended for full wallet control.

1. Click **Set Recovery Password** when prompted

   > 🔒 If left unset, the recovery share will be stored by Privy by default
   >
   > 🔑 [Learn more about recovery shares](https://docs.privy.io/security/wallet-infrastructure/advanced/user-device#securing-the-recovery-share)

{% hint style="success" %}
If you dismiss this prompt, it will reappear again after 1 week, as part of PancakeSwap’s commitment to wallet security.
{% endhint %}
