To create a new account, if you have just installed the extension, you will see the onboarding page, which allows you to create your first account as shown below.

If you closed the onboarding page for any reason, you can still open the extension from the top right of the browser in the extension area. Then, go to the main menu of the extension and select "New Account" / "Create New Account" as shown below.

Next, you will see the New Account creation page as shown below. Here, you can view your account recovery phrase, which should be saved in a secure place to recover your account if you lose access to it for any reason. On this page, you can also create a name and password for your account. This password will be used to confirm transactions sent to the blockchain and can be different from the extension login password.
