Metamask Login — Official Guide

Metamask Login: Introduction

Metamask Login is the authenticated access method to your MetaMask wallet; Metamask Login enables interaction with Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks using locally stored keys and a password-protected session.

Metamask Login: Prerequisites

Metamask Login requires the official MetaMask browser extension or the MetaMask mobile app, a secure password, and access to your 12- or 24-word recovery phrase if recovering an account; Metamask Login also supports hardware wallets (for example Ledger or Trezor) for additional security.

Metamask Login: Step-by-Step

Metamask Login on desktop: open the MetaMask extension, select your account, enter your password, and confirm — Metamask Login on mobile: open the MetaMask app, authenticate with your device method (PIN/biometrics), and approve connections to dApps.

Metamask Login with hardware wallets: connect the device, unlock it, then use MetaMask’s "Connect Hardware Wallet" workflow to complete the Metamask Login and select the desired account.

Metamask Login: Security Best Practices

Metamask Login requires strict operational security; follow these prioritized controls to minimize risk during Metamask Login.

1. Never disclose your recovery phrase during any Metamask Login flow and store it offline in a secure location.
2. Use a strong, unique password for Metamask Login and enable device-level biometrics where available.
3. Verify official domain names and avoid performing Metamask Login on links received via unsolicited messages (phishing prevention).
4. Prefer hardware wallets for high-value accounts before completing Metamask Login for transaction signing.
5. Keep MetaMask updated to the latest release before conducting Metamask Login to receive security patches.

Metamask Login: Troubleshooting

Metamask Login failures commonly stem from incorrect passwords, corrupted extension state, or mismatched network RPC settings; Metamask Login recovery uses the seed phrase — import that phrase only in the official MetaMask app or verified extension.

If Metamask Login fails after updates, clear the extension cache, reinstall from the official source, and never import your recovery phrase on unknown sites during Metamask Login.
