# Configure your wallet & Withdraw funds

#### Step 1 - Configure Your Wallet

When you launch a project using Prism Payments, you must:

1. Set and save a wallet password
2. Store this password somewhere safe

This password is critical, as it encrypts the private key. If you lose your wallet password you will not be able to withdraw your funds, and Geyser cannot recover it for you. Treat it like a private key. Save it securely in a password manager or offline backup.

Ensure you store your password in a safe and secure location. Geyser does not store your password. If you lose your password you lose your ability to withdraw the funds.
{% endhint %}

You can also save the mnemonic words of the private key from their user profile.

#### Step 2 - Withdrawing Funds

Withdrawals are not automatic. You must manually withdraw funds from your project wallet.

You will be reminded to withdraw:

* Via email notifications
* On the **My Projects** page
* Inside your **Project Control Panel**

To withdraw:

1. Go to your Project **Control Panel**
2. Select **Withdraw**
3. Choose your destination wallet
4. Confirm with your saved password

We guide you step by step in the frontend to make this process simple and clear.
