When you restore a wallet from the Secret Recovery Phrase, only the default account (Account 1) is automatically restored first. So your mind coming up with the question: How to restore MetaMask second account not showing? In this article, we will show you how to restore it in simple ways and it is easy to do.
How to restore MetaMask second account not showing?
If you have multiple accounts created under one secret recovery phrase, they will only be recovered automatically under certain circumstances. MetaMask will try to add your other accounts (assuming they haven't been imported) by checking your previous accounts in ascending order (ie Account 2, then Account 3, etc.).
Here is the step-by-step to restore your second account:
For extension:
- Click the icon in the upper right corner of the MetaMask drop-down menu
- Click "Create Account" to restore your MetaMask accounts in the order they were created
- If the accounts were previously named, you can rename them, then click Create
For mobile:
- Click the icon in the upper-left corner of the screen to bring up the menu. From here, click the drop-down arrow next to your account name
- Click "Create New Account"
So now you know how to restore MetaMask second account not showing. If you still don't see the addresses you're looking for, they may have been created with a different secret recovery phrase, or you have an imported account that you still need to re-import with the private key or JSON.
