But don't worry! If you choose a wallet and don't like how it works—or if you like it at first but later want to try something else—you can change wallets quite easily.

Nevertheless, it is good practice to avoid "putting all your eggs in one basket" and have your Ethereum accounts spread across a couple of wallets.
