# Set up Affinidi Vault

> Set up your Affinidi Vault and developer tools to get started.

Let’s get you started with Affinidi Trust Network.

[Affinidi Vault](/products/affinidi-elements/affinidi-vault.md) is the wallet your users keep their data and credentials in. Set one up for yourself to test what your users see, such as signing in to your application with Affinidi Login or claiming a credential you issue.

You can also use your Affinidi Vault to sign in to Affinidi Portal with Affinidi Login. Affinidi Portal accepts Apple, Google, GitHub, and Microsoft accounts too. If you already have an account, link a new provider to it before you use it to sign in. See [Sign in to Affinidi Portal](/dev-tools/affinidi-portal/sign-in-to-portal.md).

## Set up Affinidi Vault

Affinidi Vault provides a [Web Vault](https://vault.affinidi.com) and Mobile Vault (for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.affinidi.vault&pcampaignid=web_share)) version to quickly onboard users into the Affinidi Trust Network. Both applications store the data securely on the local storage of your device (edge).

Set up an Affinidi Vault account using the [Web Vault](https://vault.affinidi.com) or install the Mobile Vault (for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.affinidi.vault&pcampaignid=web_share)).

The same setup steps for Mobile Vault.

You have the option to enable Biometrics to unlock your Affinidi Vault easily instead of using passphrase.
