Common login issues

FAQ — MetaMask login

Is MetaMask free?

Yes—MetaMask is a free browser extension. Network (gas) fees still apply when transacting.

What does "connect" mean?

Connecting grants a website access to your public wallet address (read-only). It does not give the site your private keys.

How do I log back in?

Open the MetaMask extension and enter your password. If you forgot your password, import using your Secret Recovery Phrase.
