Hoe kan ik mijn wachtwoord resetten?

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.

• Google/Apple account
• 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.

If you know your current password, simply navigate to 'Settings' > 'Security and privacy':

Scroll down to 'Change password':

To change your password, you will need to enter your current password, and then enter a new password.

If you do not remember your password, you must have your Secret Recovery Phrase to reset it.

Voordat je deze stappen probeert, moet je ervoor zorgen dat je je geheime herstelzin bij je hebt, omdat je je wachtwoord niet op een andere manier kunt resetten, en je het risico loopt dat je geen toegang meer zult hebben tot je wallet.

Als je je geheime herstelzin nog niet op een veilige plaats hebt bewaard, lees dan Je geheime herstelzin onthullen.

Accounts that do not originate from one SRP

However, if you use backup and sync, you can restore other accounts and wallets by entering your primary SRP, or SRP #1.

To reset your password with your SRP, you will need to lock your MetaMask Extension or Mobile application. For Extension, click on the menu in the top right corner, and then click 'Lock MetaMask.' For Mobile, click on settings in the bottom right corner, and then click 'Lock'.

From there, click 'Forgot password', and enter your SRP. You will be prompted to create a new password; make sure you write this down somewhere safe.

Kan het ondersteuningsteam van MetaMask mijn wachtwoord voor mij resetten?

MetaMask does not have access to your password. Het staat lokaal op je apparaat (clientzijde), en jij bent de enige die het ziet. Nobody can reset your password for you, so it is essential to keep your password secure.

Als je de foutmelding krijgt dat je geheime herstelzin ongeldig is, kun je hier terecht.
