Here's the exact process in creating your Metamask wallet:
First, we start with a fresh and default MetaMask installation from the Chrome store. After downloading, installing, and initializing the extension, follow the Get Started guide. In there, you need to create a wallet, set a password, and store your secret backup phrase (this gives direct access to your funds, so make sure to store these in a secure place).
Step #2: Create a Wallet
After installing MetaMask, the setup will automatically open a new task with a welcome screen. Click Get Started to begin the setup process.
When prompted, you are given the option to import a wallet using a recovery seed phrase. For this exercise, set up a new wallet.
Instead of creating an account, you also have the option of importing any account into MetaMask you hold the private keys to. For this example, you'll import a development account.
On the import screen, select Private Key and paste in your keys.
You should end up with an imported Account 2 that looks like this:
