Re-add missing accounts through MetaMask Chrome Extension

 Dealing with crypto trade through multiple accounts has become a common practice to keep trade actions and processes simple. This helps users to get wide exposure to the activities that they can enjoy under the crypto trade. MetaMask is one of the highly recognized and secure crypto wallets offering investors simple navigation and secure storage room for their crypto assets. 

The wallet can be managed through its mobile app or MetaMask Chrome Extension. However, there are several other extensions that can be picked up by investors depending on their preferences. Cases have been reported wherein investors failed in detecting their additional accounts after importing their wallet using the Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP) of the wallet. 

Thus, through this read, we are providing you with the guiding steps of how you can re-add your missing additional account. To know the intact information relating to it, walk down the complete information mentioned in this document. 

Exceptions where an account doesn’t get re-added automatically

When the wallet is recovered using the Secret Recovery Phrase, the wallet automatically adds the additional accounts that have been created by the users, but there are some conditions applied to it. To be noted, if the MetaMask account is having zero ETH balance then it gets added to the wallet automatically. 

On the other hand, if the account has been imported, then it can’t be re-added whilst restoring your wallet. Under such a case, the wallet account needs to be added manually. The account is re-added in the same manner as they are imported by using the MetaMask Chrome Extension.

What you’ll have to do to re-add missing accounts manually?

In order to re-add the missing account, you’ll have to go through two processes. The process that you need to follow in a sequential manner are:

  • Restoring your wallet with the help of the Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP), and then
  • Re-adding the missing account

If you have lost the plot, then no worries, here we are going to cover the major steps involved in the restoration of the wallet and re-adding the wallet through MetaMask Chrome Extension. 

Check the steps summarized underneath:

Attempted steps to restore the MetaMask wallet

To restore your wallet, there are also two cases based on which further steps are determined. The two cases are:

 Thus, the steps involved in importing your wallet via MetaMask Chrome Extension are laid underneath:

  1. Open the newly installed MetaMask extension on your device and click on “Import an Existing Wallet”
  2. Following the on-screen instructions, mention the SRP of your wallet accurately
  3. Click on “Confirm Secret Recovery Phrase”
  4. Perform the further prompted actions to complete the recovery process
