What are /r/Metamask's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I've gotten similar emails. Quick view: Metamask is metamask.io not a .com

Also, they will never email you, and I laughed seeing the Fox logo off center. These scumbags can't even center correctly. Lol. Stay safe.

https://changenow.io

That website supports so many different coins and makes migrating to other chains so easy, highly recommend it

Edit: since you are in the Huobi chain, you will need HT for gas fees

If you’ve entered your seed phrase to any of the hijacked sites, or if you think your seed phrase could have been compromised some other way, I recommend you to generate a new MetaMask wallet in a secure computer with a freshly installed MetaMask browser extension from the official https://metamask.io , make sure to backup the new seed phrase and keep it in a safe place. Then you can move any funds that you may have left in the alleged compromised wallet to the new an address of the newly created wallet.

No! Don't do it, its a way for scammers to get your private keys! The only official website for MetaMask is MetaMask.io - so anything else you can consider a SCAM/Phishing attempt.

this happened to me as well, still trying to figure out what happened. seems it might be that Metamask is not displaying the correct amount, and hopefully not malware for both our sake.

I've already tried the following from Metamask FAQ page to no avail, but you may try too:

"1) Close down your browser where you have the MetaMask extension installed and open it again.

2) Switch networks up top by clicking on "Main Ethereum Network", selecting the Ropsten Test Network, and then switching back again.

3) Execute an account reset

3) Install Metamask using another supported browser (Firefox, Chrome, Brave) from our official website https://metamask.io , and then try restoring your wallet using the 12 words seed phrase in case the issue is only present in the browser you are currently using."

​

if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears as well

Sorry for the situation you are going through.

Have you recently downloaded the extension and installed it in your browser? Where did you download it from?

Have you checked out the latest URLs you were visiting to see if any of them could be a phishing site asking for your seed phrase?

Have you ever exported your MetaMask seed phrase or the private keys of your addresses and entered them somewhere?

Have you checked if your computer and browser are free of any viruses, trojans, or malicious extensions?

Where do you store your wallet seed phrase backup?

If you think your wallet, your browser, or your computer might have been compromised, please create a brand new MetaMask wallet by installing it in any of the supported browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Opera) from our official website https://metamask.io in a secure computer.

Make sure to correctly backup the newly created seed phrase by writing it down in paper. Also, make sure that you have any manually imported private keys backed up too.

Once you are sure you have backed up the new seed (12 words phrase) and any other specific private key, you can move any funds that you have in your primary/old wallet to an address of the new wallet.

Once you've moved all funds to the new seed phrase's addresses in one of the browsers installation, you should consider the old seed phrase compromised and stop using it completely.

Unfortunately, if your funds have been sent to an address you don't control, there is nothing we can do from here, due to the irreversible nature of cryptocurrencies, transactions cannot be stopped or recalled once they have been sent to the network.

That sounds feasible. If an attacker would like you to deposit into a wallet they control, they may be trying to place this compromised wallet into your computer.

Please be careful, and only use MetaMask in a computer you trust as safe, make sure you download the extension from our official website links only: https://metamask.io

Hello /u/honkaponka , as you have the seed phrase backed up, you should be able to use Chrome/Brave/Opera to install the MetaMask extension there and check if you can access your MetaMask wallet.

Regarding the Firefox installation that doesn't seem to work, did you try removing the addon completely? That should remove the Local Storage MetaMask data in the browser too. Then install the addon from https://metamask.io/ to see if it installs correctly and sets the storage location successfully.

Most of the poor reviewers are just people with no understanding of ether who gave up their seed phrase or stuff like that.

Need to find Internal UUID https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/about:debugging metamask wallet and find the folder by name UUID... example internal UUID is cdfeb163-4530-4ee6-afaf-44e3313ceb50 so you need to search for a folder with this name. You need search for MetaMask Vault Data https://metamask.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018766351-How-to-use-the-Vault-Decryptor-with-the-MetaMask-Vault-Data

It depends on what you're trying to do. Tbh $13 isn't enough to really do much with on ETH, that covers like 2-3 transfers. Certainly can't swap or bridge assets with that amount.

Usually I just let that kind of amount sit or transfer it to my other ETH wallets to consolidate all the 'loose change', usually late at night when the gas fees are lower, like $4 or whatever.

Or you can maybe swap it for something else like XRP or XLM through changenow.io or wherever. Won't be the full amount but at least you'll have some of the value moved out.

Its a real catch 22 situation, you have currency in Metamask but can't do any Pancake swaps with it if you have zero BNB for the transaction fees. Also if you try to buy BNB whatever service you use won't accept the 0x address of your Metamask wallet.

It would be great if you could pay the transaction fees out of the resultant BNB post transaction, but it's just not that way yet.

I used changelly.com to convert BTC into BNBBSC (BEP20) putting in my 0x Metamask address as the destination. So you tell changelly how much you want to convert and to what destination (your 0x metamask wallet address on the Binance smart chain network (Metamask ,config, add network)) then you have to send the source currency in my case BTC to the Changelly address changelly will supply, changelly receive it, convert it to BNBBSC and send it to your destination wallet (in mine it appears as BNB) , it takes ~20 mins but then if successful you have BNB in Metamask and you can then Pancake swap.

Hope this helps, took me ages, feel free to correct or enhance but don't give me hassle.

I have no affiliation with changelly just used it and it worked.

ATB.

If the vault file is there it should be here. Substitute your local username. After settings that name will be unique to you and there may be several, just dig around.

If your computer has crashed and you no longer are able to use Chrome browser or if you've been able to recover your computer files using some backup software, you may still be able to get the encrypted Vault from that backup.

If you were using the Google Chrome browser in Windows 10, you should be able to find the location of the Vault by going to this folder location (you need to be able to see the hidden files):

C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn

In that folder you'll see a file called 000003 (or something like that), open that file with a text editor or code editor software like Atom (https://atom.io/).

I have a seedbook where I keep my seed phrases in my safe.

I've just had this email and found this thread via a web search. Weird thing is... it has been sent from the domain metamask.io, which does appear to be the genuine domain, right? I wouldn't know, Crypto is totally alien to me and I certainly haven't signed up myself.

Please see rule #1:
Report scams / theft issues to support.metamask.io or use the support link in the app.

In your case use support.metamask.io

Remove the app immediately and ONLY download from instructions on Metamask.io

I totally understand why he downloaded the fake one.

It says 'by Metamask.io' on its extension page while the real one says 'by danfinlay, kumavis'

It's pretty new though, so hopefully there aren't much victims yet. The developer registered on 9 August 2021

​

I reported the fake one, everyone should do that. I'm not going to post a link to the fake one for obvious reasons. But on metamask.io you can find a link to the real one, and use the search engine on the Firefox extension page to find the fake.

Excellent question u/chrisdalott9000!

Check out our 1559 Hub for the answer!
https://metamask.io/1559

The short answer:
We are progressively rolling out support to all platforms (iOS, Android, Chrome, Brave, FireFox).

Happy to answer any additional questions!

Obviously OP faced "crazy high fees" because of liquidity and gas. However, isn't this false? It says Metamask charges 0.8% on each swap. ~1% isn't going to break the bank. Regardless, why exactly are you (and others) saying there aren't any fees?

I haven't knowingly interacted with any apps whilst using metamask. I downloaded the app from https://metamask.io/ and I paid extra attention to making sure I downloaded the right version of metamask.

You can install MetaMask in any of the other supported browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge) from our official website https://metamask.io , and then try restoring your wallet using the seed phrase you have.

Don't touch the current installation you have in your primary browser until you are sure you have the same wallet restored in the new installation.

Hey they just reached out to me. Give this a try, go again to metamask.io and reinstalled your browser extension. That seemed to have solved the issue for me. My Eth balance has been updated to what it should be. Just hope you got those random words written down somewhere, you'll need to type them to recover your wallet. Hope that solves your issue.

I think what is happening - people are downloading a fake/hacked MetaMask wallet from google store - go to official MetaMask website for MetaMask link. In Chrome: Settings > More Tools > Extentions > MetaMask > Details > View in Chrome Web Store (Check - Offered by: <strong>https: // metamask . io</strong>). Hope this helps.

/u/InternationalStar408 , sorry for the situation you are going through.

As your wallet's 12 words seed phrase have been compromised, please create a brand new MetaMask wallet by installing it in any of the supported browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge) from our official website https://metamask.io in a secure computer.

Make sure to correctly backup the newly created seed phrase by writing it down in paper. Also, make sure that you have any manually imported private keys backed up too.

Once you are sure you have backed up the new seed (12 words phrase) and any other specific private key, you can move any funds that you may have left in your primary/old wallet to an address of the new wallet.

Once you've moved all funds to the new seed phrase's addresses in one of the browsers installation, you should consider the old seed phrase compromised and stop using it completely.

Keep your MetaMask 12 words seed phrase securely stored written down in paper.

If you don’t plan on moving those assets you have already in MetaMask addresses for a long time, consider uninstalling the extension after writing down the seed phrase and make a new wallet from scratch by downloading the extension from https://metamask.io, and from now on use your hardware wallet's addresses for your daily uses. The hardware wallets work as an extra 2FA step as you need to confirm any spend or sign action in the device itself, and it keeps the seed phrase away from ever being online.

I think there are 2 ways this can happen you saved your seed phrase online and it got hacked or you downloaded a fake version of metamask. if you didn't send the transaction someone must have your seed phrase..

did you save it online or on your computer ? Did you download metamask anywhere else than https://metamask.io/ ?

Really sorry this happened to you. You can uninstall and re-install MetaMask from MetaMask.io, and then when asked, create a new wallet with a new recovery phrase. Write it down, and NEVER give it to anyone or ANY site.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get scammed? What site, or method tricked you. We can sometimes take actions to take down whatever site or group is actively scamming people.

Be tripple sure you installed from metamask.io and not some kind of google advertisement. Those are scams.

Be sure you trust your computing device (no viruses or the like)

Dont hold all of your eggs in the same basket.

I believe you. I have downloaded metamask 1 hour ago from the official website metamask.io, Before installing I had to fill in my 12 word seed, which was strange to me. on the website and then metamask was installed in Firefox and when I looked, all my dgtx is transferred to 0xd1496a9e217efe592ef0b7f6d391e1c6a160413e.

I did not make that transaction.

Website metamask.io hacked?

Where did you create the 24 words seed phrase you used?

MetaMask doesn’t create 24 words seed phrases in the available wallet creation process after installing it from the official website https://metamask.io

If you created that seed phrase in a different wallet software, that other software might be using a different derivation path to create the addresses from that seed.

If you downloaded the real MetaMask browser extension from https://metamask.io , then you received funds into your MetaMask Ethereum address and the funds were immediately moved/spent to another address, your computer or browser might be compromised or infected with some kind of virus/trojan.

Are you sure you downloaded the official version of MetaMask?

Have you checked your computer with an antivirus? Are you running other browser extensions in the same browser where you installed MetaMask?

Use this link below to verify if your PRQ tokens are definitely in your MetaMask wallet. . https://app.zerion.io/ add your wallet address Please never show to anyone your MetaMask wallet address. Good luck my amigo.

I only have one account, "Account 1". Ethplorer shows my correct PRQ balance in my Metamask address, along with my other tokens there. What does this mean? I'm assuming there must be some glitch in the system, either with Metamask or the PRQ Ethereum network. I sent other tokens from the same exchange on the same day to the same Metamask address, no problem. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help!

Hi - Thank you, but I added the PRQ token manually, and it didn't work. I tried hiding and then re-adding the token, still no luck. I suspect it's a network or Metamask glitch, because Metamask DID connect me to the ethplorer transaction link in their error nessage this morning. How do I send a private message on reddit? Thanks again!

You need to add your PRQ token them manually in your Metamask go to add toeken then go custom token, add the PRQ contract from CoinGecko. There is another way, but if you are interested please send a private message. Good luck my amigo.

I think it's because of connecting to a uniswap official looking app pn android play store..http://imgur.com/gallery/yzODBGx

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uniswap.android

I am surprised it's on the frickin play store!

Kicking myself in the a$$.. Is there any redemption? Can anyone assist to recover my funds pls?

i have the same problem.. especially problematic if your trying to use xdai with its 1 gwei gas price.. You can use Status its works for me.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=im.status.ethereum

Would love to see this issue fixed.
