To create an initial Blockstack ID, do the following:

  1. Open the Blockstack web application in your browser.

    The application prompts you to create or restore an ID.

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

  2. Choose Create new ID.

    The browser prompts you to register a unique username in the id.blockstack domain. This is a free Blockstack identity and the format of the ID is:

    username.id.blockstack

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

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

    The Check Availability buttom makes sure your name is unique.

  3. Press Continue when you find an available name you like.

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

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

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

  4. Enter a password, confirm it, and press Register ID.

    Blockstack creates an id for you and then prompts you for an email.

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

    Blockstack uses this email address to send you recovery information. This email is only sent once.

  5. Press Next.

    Blockstack presents you with the completed ID.

    ![]({{ site.baseurl }}/browser/images/create-id-4.png)

    The system prompts you to save your recovery code.

  6. Click Secret Recovery Key to record your key.

    ![]({{ site.baseurl }}/browser/images/create-id-4.png)

    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.
