# How to Set Payment Password

The Payment Password is your final line of defense before funds leave your wallet. You must set this up before making any withdrawals or transfers.

**Prerequisite:** To ensure you can receive security alerts and recover your password if needed. You must bind a valid email address to your Cwallet account before setting a Payment Password (If your account is already linked to an email, you can proceed directly).

Check this tutorial website to bind an email address: [How to Connect Email Address](/security/social-account-linking/email-address/how-to-connect-email-address.md)
