Can i get my tokens i made on my wallet?

Question

I trying make a token according to official document I faced this part https://solana.com/developers/guides/getstarted/how-to-create-a-token#mint-tokens

Look at picture first i should make an account then i can mint it

But actually how can i have access to amount i minted ? I mean it doesn't give me any secret key for wallet

So if i delete my system and use another pc i can mint?!

I would like to make a token on main net network but i confused I am afraid that my token will be easily hacked

You have to understand how clusters work. There are 4 important clusters that you need to know:

• Local cluster: this is usually what you use in most tutorials
• Devnet cluster: this is what you use before you launch in Mainnet to test everything out publicly. In this cluster, your friends can test your work by asking them to switch into Devnet (most wallets like Phantom gives you an option to switch into this cluster)
• Mainnet cluster: this is the real thing, aka. production environment. you publish your work and pay real SOL to deploy your programs
• Testnet cluster: you do not need this for now

Check your Solana config first to know if you are using a local cluster (the RPC URL:

solana config get

If you want to test your token publicly, switch to devnet:

solana config set -u devnet

But actually how can i have access to amount i minted ? I mean it doesn't give me any secret key for wallet

If you do that solana config get, it will also display where your keypair wallet file is (under Keypair Path, the .json file). That keypair is usually has the "mint authority" over your newly created token.
