How to copy your address and view account details
In MetaMask, you can copy your account's public addresses from the homepage and view account details from the dropdown selector.

Your Ethereum (EVM) address is visible by default under the account dropdown. Simply click to copy.
You can see the list of other network addresses associated with this account (example: Bitcoin, Solana, and Tron) when hovering. Click to copy a network address to your clipboard.
You can choose whether you want to show or hide a default address. If this is toggled off, you can still access your addresses on the homepage by hovering over the section under the dropdown.
Tap the copy icon on the homepage to pull up the list of addresses. Choose the desired network address to copy to clipboard.

Configure your default address
You can configure the default address that shows up on MetaMask Extension. On MetaMask Mobile, there is no default address configured.
- Extension
Click the menu icon in the top-right corner of MetaMask and select 'Settings' > 'Preferences and display'
Toggle 'Show default address' to show or hide the default address and choose the desired network address to show as default (example: Ethereum and EVMs or Solana).
If the address you paste doesn’t match your actual address, your device may be compromised by malware (sometimes called a clipboard hack). Always double-check the address after pasting and compare the first and last few characters before sending funds.
