So I hope now you will know how to import MetaMask account to another computer. Although your Secret Recovery Phrase will give you access from any computer, you will need to reset everything (passwords, add custom tokens, etc.) from that local computer. So just make sure you have everything backed up (put your secret recovery phrase in a safe, secure place) and you can use your account anywhere.
