A created EOS account is stored directly in the RAM on the EOS blockchain and not in a wallet. Because the account needs RAM, you have to pay for an EOS Account. There are multiple ways to create an EOS account. Either you pay for an account or get a sponsored account.

The EOS wallets are authenticators to sign transactions. As long as one has their private key, one can use any EOS Authenticators (insert the private key in an official EOS wallet/authenticators to access EOS account).

You can display or search any EOS account with block explorers like bloks.io, eosauthority.com, eosflare.io, eostoolkit.io, etc. These EOS explorers offer a set of functions you can perform with your EOS Account. Insert the EOS Account name into the search, and it will display your EOS Account and its information.
