Log In to MetaMask | Access Ethereum & Tokens

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to log in to MetaMask, secure your wallet, manage Ethereum and tokens, enable mobile access, and follow best security practices.

Official MetaMask Login Quickstart

Quickstart — log in safely

Open MetaMask via the official site or browser extension, enter your password, and unlock your wallet. Use a secure device and avoid public networks when signing in.

Step-by-step login

  1. Visit MetaMask Official Site.
  2. Click on “Download” or open the browser extension if already installed.
  3. Enter your password to unlock the wallet.
  4. Use the seed phrase only if recovery is needed — never share it online.
  5. Access your Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens safely within the wallet interface.

Security best practices

  • Use a strong, unique password and enable biometric access where possible.
  • Keep seed phrases offline in a secure location.
  • Enable hardware wallet integration for high-value tokens.
  • Be cautious of phishing links and malicious websites.

Mobile Access

Download MetaMask mobile apps from official app stores for iOS or Android. Enable biometric unlock for added convenience and security. Always update the app to the latest version.

Account recovery

If you forget your password, use your seed phrase to restore the wallet on a secure device. Never share your seed phrase; recovery requires you to enter it exactly as provided during wallet setup.

Manage Ethereum & Tokens

MetaMask allows sending, receiving, and swapping tokens. Double-check contract addresses when adding custom tokens and confirm all transaction details carefully.

DApp connections

MetaMask supports Web3 DApp integration. Always review permissions requested by DApps and disconnect any apps no longer in use.

Transaction fees

Ethereum network fees (gas) apply to transfers and swaps. Set appropriate gas limits and monitor fees through MetaMask’s interface.

Keeping MetaMask updated

Regularly update browser extensions or mobile apps to patch vulnerabilities and gain access to new features.
