MetaMask is a cryptocurrency wallet that uses software to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. It gives users access to their Ethereum wallet via a browser extension or mobile app, which they can then use to interact with decentralized applications. So, how to log out MetaMask?
How To Log Out MetaMask On Web?
You must be logged in to log out because you cannot log out of your wallet if you are not logged in.
There is no need to log out if you want to delete your current Metamask wallet and import a new one. Simply uninstall and reinstall the extension, then import the wallet using the new wallet's recovery phrase.
- On the Metamask extension, click the account icon (or circular icon) in the upper right corner of the page.
- Next, to the right of [My Accounts], click [Lock] to log out of your wallet.
- After you have locked your account, you must enter the password again to unlock it.
How To Log Out MetaMask In App?
When compared to the Metamask browser extension, logging out of the Metamask mobile app on Android or iOS is a relatively simple process.
- To exit the Metamask mobile app, swipe left on the Metamask home screen and select [Log Out].
- You will see a dialog asking if you want to log out; click [Yes] to log out of your account.
When you log out, you must sign in again with your account password to access the wallet. After logging in with your password, you can access your account in subsequent sign-ins using faceID (for iOS), fingerprint, or face unlock.
Is It Safe To Have 2 MetaMask Wallets?
No, there can only be one. Having more than one type of MetaMask — and, in most cases, any other wallet extension — active in your browser at the same time will cause issues, and none of them will work properly. To solve this issue, deactivate (or turn 'off') the additional extensions until you only have one left, or, as we'll see later, use multiple browsers or browser profiles to access them separately.
Summary
When you log out of Metamask, your account is locked, and anyone who gains physical or remote access to your computer will be unable to access your crypto unless they know your recovery phrase. How to log out MetaMask is pretty easy, right?
