Metamask® Chrome Extension®
Metamask® Chrome Extension® - MetaMask supports Firefox, Google Chrome, and Chromium-based browsers. We recommend using the latest available browser version.
Logging In to Your MetaMask Extension Chrome
. Open MetaMask Extension
Launch the MetaMask extension in your Chrome browser.
. Enter Your Password
Enter the password you created during the wallet setup to unlock your wallet.
. Complete Two-Factor Authentication (if enabled)
For added security, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if you haven't already. This step adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a verification code from an authenticator app.
Using MetaMask Wallet
. View Your Assets
After logging in, you can view your Ethereum balance and any ERC-20 tokens you have added to your wallet. The main dashboard provides an overview of your holdings.
. Send and Receive Cryptocurrency
To send cryptocurrency, click the "Send" button, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount, and confirm the transaction. To receive cryptocurrency, click the "Receive" button to view your wallet address and share it with the sender.
. Interact with dApps
MetaMask allows you to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) directly from your browser. Visit dApp browsers like DappRadar or explore dApps listed on the MetaMask interface to start using them.
. Swap Tokens
MetaMask also provides a built-in feature to swap tokens directly from your wallet. Select the tokens you want to swap, review the conversion rate, and confirm the transaction.
Security Best Practices
. Secure Your Seed Phrase
Never share your seed phrase with anyone. Store it offline in a secure location, such as a safe or a secure password manager.
. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
For enhanced security, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in MetaMask to protect your account from unauthorized access.
. Regularly Update MetaMask
Keep your MetaMask extension updated to the latest version to benefit from the latest security features and improvements.
. Beware of Phishing Attacks
Always double-check URLs to ensure you're visiting the official MetaMask website or dApps. Be cautious of phishing attempts and never enter your seed phrase on any website or app other than MetaMask.
