MetaMask Login

How do I change or reset my MetaMask password?

 

Have you forgotten your MetaMask sign in password and now you wish to reset it? Or, do you suspect that somebody knows your password and this is the reason you want to change it? Well, in both cases, you need to take action so that you can assign a new password to your account. By changing your MetaMask password on a regular basis, you can make sure that nobody is gaining access to your account without your permission and that you are the sole owner of your wallet.


In case you are wondering what is the easiest procedure to change the MetaMask Login password, then you should note that you can achieve it by simply resetting the password of your wallet. However, to reset the password, you will eventually require your seed phrase a.k.a. secret recovery phrase details. So, if you have access to the recovery phrase, setting a new MetaMask sign in password would not be a hurdle.
