First, You have to generate SEED key.

You can generate it yourself, but I recommend use below web site.

SEED key is VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT in IOTA wallet.

You should move mouse on browser to fill 100%.

Then, you can see SEED key.

You should store SEED key where nobody knows.

2. Download and Install IOTA wallet

You can download IOTA wallet below link.

I'm going to install for Windows.

Click Start button.

3. Login and Use

You can Login with SEED key that generated few minutes ago.

!!!!!!!!!! WARNING - IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!

IOTA wallet authenticate user by SEED key only.

So, SEED key is VERY IMPORTANT. Do not miss it.

After logged in, you can send/receive IOTA using address.

My opinion

SEED key is combination 81 characters of alphabet and numbers.

It's very difficult to hacked.

But, I think it's a problem of the fortune.

So, I'm very nervous to use wallet or exchange.
