Open MetaMask Extension or App
Launch the MetaMask extension in your web browser (available for Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge) or open the MetaMask app on your mobile device (available for iOS and Android).
Enter Your Password
If you have previously set up a password for your MetaMask wallet, you will be prompted to enter it. This password is used to unlock your wallet and provide access to your funds.
Unlock Your Wallet
After entering your password, click the "Unlock" button to gain access to your wallet.
Complete Two-Factor Authentication (if enabled)
For additional security, MetaMask offers the option to enable two-factor authentication (2FA). If 2FA is enabled, you will need to enter the verification code generated by your authenticator app.
Access Your Wallet
Once you have successfully unlocked your wallet, you will be able to access your Ethereum balance and any ERC-20 tokens stored in your MetaMask wallet.
View Your Assets
Upon logging in, you can view your Ethereum balance and any other tokens you have added to your MetaMask wallet.
Send and Receive Funds
You can easily send and receive Ethereum and other tokens. Click the "Send" button to transfer funds or the "Receive" button to generate a receiving address for incoming transactions.
Interact with dApps
MetaMask allows you to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) seamlessly. Navigate to your favorite dApp and connect your MetaMask wallet to start using its features securely.
Manage Multiple Accounts
MetaMask supports multiple accounts. You can create new accounts, import existing ones, and switch between them as needed, making it easier to manage different sets of funds.
Keep Your Password Secure
Ensure that your MetaMask password is strong and unique. Never share it with anyone, and avoid using easily guessable information.
Backup Your Seed Phrase
During the initial setup, MetaMask provides a 12-word seed phrase. Write down this seed phrase and store it in a secure location. It is the only way to recover your wallet if you forget your password or lose access to your device.
Beware of Phishing Attempts
Always double-check the URLs of websites you interact with and be cautious of unsolicited messages asking for your seed phrase or private keys.
