+
+## Introduction
+
+The web3-eth-accounts package contains functions to generate Ethereum accounts and sign transactions and data.
+
+:::tip
+In Ethereum, a private key is a crucial component of the cryptographic key pair used for securing and controlling ownership of Ethereum addresses. Ethereum uses a public-key cryptography system, where each Ethereum address has a corresponding pair of public and private keys. This key pair will allow you to have ownership associated with the ethereum address, store and access funds and send transactions.
+
+Be sure to have your private key stored and encrypted in a safe place, as losing or sharing it may result in permament loss of access to the asscoiated Ethereum address and funds.
+
+To generate a private key: `const privateKey = web3.eth.accounts.create().privateKey;`
+
+Learn more about wallets [here](https://ethereum.org/en/wallets/)

+### Local wallets
+
+Local wallets are an in-memory [wallet](/api/web3-eth-accounts/class/Wallet/) that can hold multiple accounts.
+Wallets are a convenient way to sign and send transactions in web3.js.
+
+:::warning
+
+If used within the browser, wallets are not saved anywhere and disappear when the page is refreshed.
+If used within your application, wallets will disappear after the program is completed.
+
+:::

+
+``` ts
+
+import Web3 from 'web3';
+
+web3.eth.accounts.wallet.create(1);
+
+const message = web3.utils.utf8ToHex('Hello world'); // sign only takes hexstrings, so turn message to hexstring

+## Browser injection - Sending a transaction with Metamask
+
+This is an example html file that will send a transaction when the button element is clicked.
+
+To run this example you'll need Metamask, the `index.html` file below in your folder and you'll need a local server:
+
+`npm i http-server`
+
+`npx http-server`
+
+Afterwards your file will be served on a local port, which will usually be on `http://127.0.0.1:8080`
