How can I reset my password?

Resetting your password depends on whether you created your MetaMask wallet by connecting your Google or Apple account, or by writing down your Secret Recovery Phrase.

If you connected MetaMask to your Google or Apple account, resetting your password will reset the password across every instance of MetaMask you have. For example, if you reset your password on the MetaMask extension, it will also reset the password on the MetaMask mobile app.

Resetting your password won't change anything else about your MetaMask; all of your accounts will remain accessible.

You can reset your password by navigating to 'Settings' > 'Security and privacy' > 'Change password.' To change your password, you will need to enter your current password, and then enter a new password. Doing so will lock you out of other instances of MetaMask, so make sure you write down your new password.

If you do not remember your password, you will not be able to reset it. You will only be able to access your accounts by opening a new MetaMask instance and importing your accounts via SRPs and private keys.

Can MetaMask Support reset my password for me?

MetaMask does not have access to your password. It resides locally on your device (client-side) and is only shown to you. Nobody can reset your password for you, so it is essential to keep your password secure.
