| + | |||
| + | Click " | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | You will now set a password. This password locks MetaMask on this specific browser. Make it strong and unique, combining uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Next, MetaMask reveals your Secret Recovery Phrase. This 12-word phrase is the master key to your wallet and funds. Write these words down on paper in the exact order shown. Do not save this phrase digitally–avoid screenshots, | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Confirm your phrase by selecting the words in the correct sequence on the next screen. This step verifies you have a proper backup. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Bookmark the official MetaMask website. This simple habit helps you avoid phishing sites when seeking support or updates. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Importing an Existing Wallet Using a Secret Recovery Phrase | ||
| + | |||
| + | Prepare your 12, 18, or 24-word Secret Recovery Phrase before you start. Open your browser extension (like MetaMask) and click " | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Select the " | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Use a single space between each word and double-check for spelling errors. Avoid typing the phrase anywhere else; this secure field within the extension is the only place it should go. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Create a new, strong password for this specific browser installation. This password encrypts the wallet data locally on your device; it is different from your recovery phrase. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | After confirming, your complete wallet balance and transaction history will load. The process connects your existing account to this new browser interface. | ||

| + | FAQ: | ||
| + | Is it safe to install MetaMask from the Chrome Web Store? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Yes, installing MetaMask from the official Chrome Web Store is the recommended and safest method. The store listing is verified by Google and maintained directly by ConsenSys, the developers of MetaMask. Always check that the publisher is " | ||
| + | |||
| + | I use Microsoft Edge. Will the MetaMask extension work properly? | ||
| + | |||
| + | MetaMask works very well on Microsoft Edge. Since Edge is built on the same Chromium engine as Chrome, you can install the extension directly from the Chrome Web Store. In Edge, go to the Chrome Web Store page for MetaMask, and Edge will prompt you with a message saying "You can add extensions from the Chrome Web Store to Microsoft Edge." Click "Allow extensions from other stores" | ||
| + | |||
| + | Why would I use Kiwi Browser for MetaMask instead of Chrome? | ||
| + | |||
| + | Kiwi Browser is a mobile browser for Android that supports desktop-style Chrome extensions. This is its main advantage. If you want to use MetaMask on your Android phone with the full extension experience—rather than using the standalone MetaMask mobile app—Kiwi Browser is the only option. It lets you interact with web3 dApps directly in your mobile browser, just like on a desktop. For desktop use, Chrome or Edge are more standard and receive faster updates. | ||
| + | |||
| + | What's the most common mistake people make during MetaMask setup? | ||
| + | |||
| + | The most serious and common error is not securely backing up the Secret Recovery Phrase. This 12-word phrase is generated during setup. If you lose access to your browser or computer, this phrase is the only way to restore your wallet and funds. Write it down on paper and store it in a safe place. Never save it in a text file on your computer, email it, or take a screenshot. Anyone with these words can take control of your wallet. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After installing, I can't see the MetaMask icon. Where did it go? | ||
| + | |||
| + | In Chrome, Edge, and Kiwi, the extension icon can sometimes be hidden in the browser' | ||
