Metamask: Old eth network accounts do not appear after reinstalling metamask

Metamask problem after reinstallation: old Ethereum network accounts are no longer displayed

I’m writing this article as a troubleshooting guide for those who have encountered an unpleasant problem after reinstalling MetaMask on a desktop or mobile device. The problem is widespread, and it is important to understand what is happening and how to solve it.

Problem: Unsaved old network accounts disappear during reinstallation

When switching from Note to a new MetaMask installation, old accounts associated with your Ethereum network are not automatically saved. This may seem trivial, but believe me, it can be annoying when you ask to restore your favorite wallet or access an online service that uses these saved accounts.

Symptoms: Old network accounts not showing up after reinstalling MetaMask

Symptoms of the problem include:

• Old addresses and passwords of the Ethereum network are not displayed in MetaMask.

• If you try to log in with an old account, it may ask for a new password or login information.

• You may have to manually restore your saved accounts from Note before reinstalling MetaMask.

Solution: reinstall MetaMask from Note

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

• Reopen Notepad

  : Start Notepad (or any other text editor you use) and reopen it from the Recents list.

• Copy old Ethereum network accounts: Click on the “Edit” menu and select “Copy”.

• Paste in MetaMask: Go back to your new MetaMask installation and click on the “Wallets” tab.

• Add old Ethereum network accounts: Click the “+” button and paste the copied account information.

Tips and Precautions

Before asking to reinstall MetaMask from Note, consider the following:

• Make sure you save some important account information (eg wallet address, passphrase) to Note before reinstalling.

• If you are using a private network or the Tor browser, this problem may be more serious and require manual recovery.

Conclusion

Reinstalling MetaMask from Note may seem like a simple process, but it’s easy to overlook the importance of keeping your old account information. By following these steps, you will be able to resolve the issue and restore your saved Ethereum network accounts. If the problem persists or you encounter additional difficulties, please contact MetaMask support for assistance.
