To create an initial Blockstack ID, do the following:

  1. Open the Blockstack web application in your browser.

    The application prompts you for an email address.

    ![]({{ site.baseurl }}/browser/images/create-id-0.png)

    Blockstack uses this email address to send you recovery information.

  2. Enter an email address and press Next.

    The application prompts you to enter a password. Blockstack users this password to encrypt your recovery code. You must record and save this initial password.

    NOTE:The Blockstack team cannot restore your password for you.

  3. Enter a password, confirm it, and press Next.

    ![]({{ site.baseurl }}/browser/images/create-id-1.png)

    The browser prompts you to register a unique username in the id.blockstack domain. This is your identity in the decentralized internet. The format of the id is:

    username.id.blockstack

    You'll use this initial ID to access the Blockstack Browser.

  4. Enter a unique username and press Check Availability.

    ![]({{ site.baseurl }}/browser/images/create-id-2.png)

    When you choose an ID that is available, the system responds with the following:

    ![]({{ site.baseurl }}/browser/images/create-id-3.png)

  5. Press Continue.

    The system prompts you to save your recovery code. A recovery code is a sequence of words. These words allow you to recover an id.blockstack that you've created. You should store the words along with their order, for example, #1 applied and so forth.

  6. Click I have written down all the words when you are done.

    The system places you in the Blockstack browser. You can begin exploring and using Dapps.
