Then, once it is installed, follow the setup instructions and configure the 12 words you need to enter to regain access to the app in case of a reinstall and a secure password. It is very important to save the keywords and the password in a very secure place. But this app can generate a Bitcoin address for you, and even a Bitcoin QR code to scan with your `phone.
