There are many crypto wallets present in the market of cryptocurrencies and almost all of them offers the same features as other but there are some other features as well that make them unique and different from each other. But out of all the wallets available, the MetaMask wallet stands as the best wallet available in the market. And if you are already a user of this wallet then you must know how beneficial this wallet is. If you prefer to use your mobile to get instant access to the account, then you can get its mobile application, and laptop or computer users can go for metamask extension. Do not think that MetaMask is only available for Chrome, it also supports other browsers as well.   

This blog is all about the adding process of missing accounts after you have restored your account on the MetaMask by using the Secret Recovery Phrase.

What to do if the MetaMask Wallet is deleted accidentally?

Before moving further towards the point of restoring your missing account let us get to know what should be done if you delete your account ‘accidentally’ on the metamask extension.

The first thing that you should know is you can never delete your account from the MetaMask accidentally. Once the account has been created on the wallet, it will stay forever on the blockchain network. So, your account has not been deleted from MetaMask. Though, you might have deleted your metamask extension or its mobile application. If this is the case, you will have to reinstall the extension or the mobile application, whatever you want. And then you will have to restore your wallet account with the help of the Secret Recovery Phrase.

If you have fixed your wallet with the help of using Secret Recover Phrase but some of them are missing. Then there are the steps that you should execute in your metamask extension

  4. If your accounts were named, then you can write the name of your account in the text field.
  5. Then tap ‘Create’.

Your accounts would be restored by now.
