# Create or import did

In SSI (Self-Sovereign Identity) ecosystems, your identity is represented by a **DID** (Decentralized Identifier).\
The wallet allows two ways to obtain a DID:

1. **Create a new DID**

   * The app will generate random *seedwords* (also called *mnemonic*), which act as the private key backup.
   * You must **securely record these seedwords** to restore access to your DID in the future.
   * Without them, you will not be able to recover your account on another device.

2. **Import an existing DID**
   * If you already have seedwords from another device or previous installation, select *Import* and enter the words you saved before.

After creation (Create) or import (Import), you will see the main wallet screen displaying your **DID** (e.g., `did:empe:testnet:...`).
