# Connect Your Wallet

**This is your secure login — and your key to unlocking your Vault.**

Before you can use Locked Money, you’ll need to connect a browser wallet. Think of it like the secure login for your crypto life — but you stay in control.

#### 🧰 What’s a Wallet?

A **crypto wallet** is how you interact with decentralized apps like Locked Money. It doesn’t hold your funds — your Vault does — but it’s how you **sign and approve** transactions securely.

> 🔒 Locked Money is 100% self-custodial. Your wallet simply proves that it’s you.

***

#### 🔐 Supported Wallets

We recommend two beginner-friendly browser wallets:

* **🦊 MetaMask** → The most popular crypto wallet
  * [Get MetaMask](https://metamask.io/)
* **🧪 Rabby Wallet** → Great for DeFi, security-focused
  * [Get Rabby](https://rabby.io/)

Both work as browser extensions (Chrome or Brave recommended).

***

#### 🪜 How to Connect

1. Install MetaMask or Rabby in your browser
2. Follow their setup instructions
3. Head back to Locked.Money and click **Connect Wallet**
4. Choose your installed wallet
5. Approve the connection in your browser pop-up

That’s it — you’re in.

#### 🧠 Common Questions

**Do I need to enter a password or create an account?**\
→ No account needed. Your wallet is your access key.

**Can I use a mobile wallet?**\
→ Locked Money is optimized for desktop. Mobile support coming soon.

**What if I lose access to my wallet?**\
→ That’s why we use multi-signature Vaults — you can add backup wallets or remove compromised ones later.
