+
+Quill requires you to set up a secure password upon your first time getting started, and uses the [zxcvbn password strength estimator](https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn) to ensure your security. The estimator will give you tips on bolstering any password that isn't up to snuff.
+
+Thinking up and remembering strong passwords on your own can be quite challenging, so we highly recommend using a password manager or password generator to automatically create a really complex one. You should only use this password for Quill, and no other service.
+
+Be aware that if you lose your Quill password, it'll be gone forever. In the event that you lose your password, you can reset your Quill interface, but this will result in you losing your Quill settings. **Always** make an offline backup of your Secret Recovery Phrase(s), or you might risk losing access to your funds.
+
+## Setting up a Password Manager
+
+The two most recommended and accessible solutions for password managers are [LastPass](https://www.lastpass.com/how-lastpass-works) and [1Password](https://1password.com/). These are “cloud-based,” although all your secret data is protected and encrypted by a “Master Password” that never leaves your computer / device. This means that there is no “forgot password” button and no way to access your account if you forget your master password.
+
+This level of security when it comes to your master password is paramount since if it were to be compromised, an attacker would gain access to any and all passwords, notes, card information, address information, private keys, SSH information, or other secure information you put in the password manager. Most obviously, an attacker can now use this information to access your accounts. Less obviously, they have a list of all the passwords you have historically used.
+
+There are also local password manager solutions, such as [KeePass](https://keepass.info/), which don't use any cloud-based backup. These can be used fully offline and stored on a USB thumb drive.
+
+### Action Items
+
+_Note: Not all of these may be available for your specific password manager._
+
+1. Update your master password to ensure it is really, really, really strong, unique, secure, and unforgettable. Don't store the password anywhere except written down, off a computer, where it cannot be lost or damaged.
+2. If you use LastPass, 1Password, or another solution that supports 2FA, enable 2FA via Google Authenticator and / or a hardware device like Yubico.
+3. Remove any email or SMS Account Recovery.
+4. See if there is a “security email” or “secondary email” that can be set up to receive notifications about new logins and security alerts. This helps prevent an attacker from intercepting and deleting these emails if they gain access to your primary email.
+5. Enable auto logouts after a certain period of time to ensure there aren’t any random open sessions floating around.
+6. Remove any trusted devices that you aren’t actively using.
+7. Remove any mobile devices that you aren’t actively using.
+8. Once you have passwords in your password manager, check out their “[security challenge](https://helpdesk.lastpass.com/lastpass-security-challenge/)” or “[watchtower](https://support.1password.com/watchtower/).” This will help you update duplicate and weak passwords and highlight your weak spots. Repeat periodically.
+
+If your password manager is a local solution, ensure that your backups are in offline storage and your local devices are encrypted.

+In the event that you lost your Quill password and no longer have access to your Quill accounts, you'll have to reset your Quill application and restore your account(s) using the 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase shown during the initial setup of your Quill account. **Keep in mind that you can only restore your Quill account(s) with your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase.**
+
+To reset your Quill while it's locked, click the "Discover options here" button at the bottom of your locked interface.
+

+
+To proceed, click the "Yes, reset my password" button.

+
+To install Quill, head on over to [download.mycrypto.com](https://download.mycrypto.com/), and install Quill for your operating system.
+
+## Settings up Quill
+
+To get started with Quill, you need to choose a strong password, which is used to encrypt your data within the Quill application.
+
+This password will give anyone who has access to your computer access to your Quill accounts, so make sure it's secure and that only you know it. Read more on [safely creating and storing your password](/how-to/backup-restore/how-to-safely-create-store-your-password).
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/getting-started-with-quill/enter-password.png)
+
+After entering your password, click the "Create Password" button.
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/getting-started-with-quill/add-account.png)
+
+You've successfully set a password, and you're ready to get started with Quill! You can either create a new account with Quill, or import any of the following wallet types:
+
+- Secret Recovery Phrases
+- Private keys
+- Keystore Files
+
+This article will guide you through creating a new account, but feel free to read more about [importing your own wallet](/how-to/quill/how-to-import-private-key-keystore-file-phrase), or [importing your existing Quill account(s)](/how-to/quill/how-to-restore-quill-accounts).
+
+## Creating Your First Account
+
+To create a brand new account within Quill, click the "Generate Account" button.
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/getting-started-with-quill/generate-account.png)
+
+When you create a new account with Quill, you are provided a series of words that grants you access to your account(s) in case you lose your Quill password. Make sure to store your Secret Recovery Phrase in a [safe and secure place](https://blog.mycrypto.com/where-is-your-wallet/), offline, and not stored on your computer. Keep in mind that your phrase needs to be written down in the correct order, as shown in the Quill interface. **Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase with anyone, as it will allow them to gain full access to your account(s), even if they don't know your password.**
+
+After writing down your Secret Recovery Phrase, click the "Confirm Phrase" button.
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/getting-started-with-quill/verify-phrase.png)
+
+To make sure you've written down your phrase correctly, Quill will ask you to enter three words in random positions. After entering the correct words, click "Verify Words". **If an error shows up, go back and make sure that you've written down each of the 12 words in your Secret Recovery Phrase, and that you've written them down in the correct order.**
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/getting-started-with-quill/new-account.png)
+
+You successfully created your first Quill account! Again, make sure you are saving your Secret Recovery Phrase in a secure, offline location. You can also choose to print a paper wallet during this step. **Losing your Secret Recovery Phrase will cause you to lose access to your account(s) and funds. MyCrypto is not able to recover these accounts for you.**
+
+Once you make sure your phrase is stored safely, you can continue.
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/getting-started-with-quill/set-up-new-account.png)
+
+You've successfully created a new Quill account, and you're ready to add this account to your MyCrypto Dashboard!
+
+## Adding to Your MyCrypto Dashboard
+
+Head on over to app.mycrypto.com, and find the "Add" button in your Dashboard sidebar.
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/getting-started-with-quill/quill-wallet-option.png)
+
+Various wallet options will be shown, select Quill. Then, select the network you wish to use with your Quill account, which by default will be Ethereum, and continue.
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/getting-started-with-quill/connect-to-quill.png)
+
+Prompt MyCrypto to connect to your Quill instance by clicking the "Connect to Quill" button.
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/getting-started-with-quill/quill-prompt.png)
+
+Your Quill window will appear, asking you to connect to MyCrypto. Make sure it's MyCrypto asking you to connect, and click "Allow Permissions".
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/getting-started-with-quill/account-added.png)
+
+You've now successfully created a new Quill account, and connected it with your MyCrypto Dashboard! Hooray!
+
+From here on, you're free to add funds to your account by sending funds to your new account address, or by purchasing ETH with [buy.mycrypto.com](https://buy.mycrypto.com/).

+When your Quill interface was left unattended for a certain period of time, Quill's Auto-Lock Timer automatically locks your interface, keeping your funds safe and secure.
+
+By default, Quill will automatically lock after 5 minutes of inactivity.
+
+## Changing the Timer
+
+Open up Quill, and unlock it by entering your Quill password.
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/how-to-change-auto-lock-quill/settings-button.png)
+
+Find the cogwheel icon in the top right corner of your Quill interface, this will open up your Quill settings.
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/how-to-change-auto-lock-quill/auto-lock-button.png)
+
+Click "Auto-Lock Timer" in the list of settings that show up.
+
+![](../../assets/how-to/quill/how-to-change-auto-lock-quill/auto-lock-setting.png)
+
+By default, Quill's Auto-Lock Timer is set to 5 minutes. You can select either a longer or shorter inactivity duration. After selecting your new inactivity duration, it'll automatically be saved in your Quill settings.
+
+If you use a shared computer, we highly recommend keeping your Auto-Lock Timer at a low inactivity duration, and to lock your Quill interface immediately after use.
