π‘I lost my wallet password. How do I recover it?
If you've lost your password (also known as the pass phrase) to your MetaMask wallet, you can recover it using the secret backup phrase (seed phrase) that you should have written down and secured when you initially set up your wallet. Here's how to recover your wallet password:
Open MetaMask: Launch the MetaMask wallet extension or app
Access the login screen: On the login screen, where you are prompted to enter your password, look for an option like 'Forgot Password' or 'Restore Wallet'
Enter your seed phrase: Select the 'Forgot Password' or 'Restore Wallet' option. You will be asked to enter your secret backup phrase (seed phrase). This phrase typically consists of 12 or 24 words. Carefully enter each word of your seed phrase in the correct order
Create a new password: After entering the seed phrase, you'll be prompted to create a new password for your wallet
Confirm password: Re-enter the new password to confirm it
Access your wallet: Once you've successfully provided the seed phrase and created a new password, you should regain access to your MetaMask wallet
It's crucial to keep your seed phrase safe and never share it with anyone. This phrase is the key to recovering your wallet in case of lost passwords or other access issues.
