MetaMask is a self-custodial wallet that lets you access blockchain applications and web3. To log in, download MetaMask or use the browser extension.

If You Already Have MetaMask Installed

  1. Open MetaMask Extension:

    • Click on the MetaMask icon in your browser's toolbar. This icon usually appears as a small fox face in the top right corner of your browser.

  2. Unlock MetaMask:

    • Enter Your Password: Type in the password you created when you first set up MetaMask.

    • Using the Seed Phrase: If you’ve forgotten your password or are using MetaMask on a new device, click on "Restore from seed phrase" or similar wording. Enter your 12-word seed phrase in the correct order and set a new password.

  3. Access Your Wallet: Once unlocked, you will see your wallet interface with your Ethereum account details, including your balance and transaction history.

If You Need to Install MetaMask

  1. Download and Install MetaMask:

    • Go to the official MetaMask website: MetaMask

    • Click on "Download" and choose the version compatible with your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge).

    • Follow the browser-specific instructions to add the MetaMask extension.

  2. Setup MetaMask:

    • After installation, click on the MetaMask icon in your browser's toolbar to open it.

    • Click "Get Started."

    • You will be presented with two options: "Import Wallet" and "Create a Wallet."

      • Create a Wallet: If you are new to MetaMask, select "Create a Wallet." Follow the prompts to create a password.

      • Important Step: You will be given a 12-word seed phrase. Write this down on paper and store it securely. This seed phrase is crucial for recovering your wallet if you lose access to it.

    • Confirm your seed phrase by selecting the words in the correct order.

Logging in After Setup

    • Click on the MetaMask icon in your browser's toolbar.

Restoring an Existing Wallet

  1. Open MetaMask:

    • If MetaMask is already installed, click on the icon in the browser toolbar.

  2. Select “Import Wallet”:

    • This option is usually available on the initial setup screen.

    • Enter your 12-word seed phrase in the correct order.

Security Tips

  • Never Share Your Seed Phrase: The seed phrase is the master key to your wallet. Anyone with this phrase can access your funds. Store it securely offline.

  • Use a Strong Password: Ensure your MetaMask password is strong and unique. Avoid using easily guessable passwords.

  • Backup Your Seed Phrase: Write down your seed phrase and store it in a safe place. Do not store it digitally or share it with anyone.

  • Consider a Hardware Wallet: For added security, especially if you are handling significant amounts of cryptocurrency, use a hardware wallet in conjunction with MetaMask.
