# Wallet PIN

Wallet Access PIN is created at the time of [wallet-initial-setup](https://docs.citadelwallet.io/getting-started/wallet-initial-setup "mention") or [wallet-recover](https://docs.citadelwallet.io/getting-started/wallet-recover "mention")

It is very important to remember the PIN and never loose it, otherwise you will loose access to the hardware wallet and will have to get a new wallet to recover your account.

> PIN will be allowed to input incorrectly only 5 times. If PIN is inputted incorrectly sixth time, hardware wallet Secure Element will be locked and you will never be able to access that specific hardware wallet.

When inputted correctly, you will be taken to the Home Page where you can sign transactions or select [wallet-settings](https://docs.citadelwallet.io/getting-started/wallet-settings "mention")and navigate through the options provided.
