How MetaMask® Login Works
MetaMask® Login is fundamentally different from traditional web logins. Instead of sending credentials to a server, your wallet verifies actions locally within the extension environment.
This design ensures that sensitive information never leaves your device. Every connection request or transaction requires explicit confirmation, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Why This Login Model Is Secure
Local Key Storage
Private keys remain encrypted within your browser environment and are never shared with external services.
User Confirmation
All actions must be manually approved, ensuring full awareness of every interaction.
Permission Control
Connected sites only receive limited access, which can be revoked at any time.
Best Practices for Safe Access
Always verify the website you are connecting to before approving access. Avoid using public or shared devices when managing digital assets.
Your recovery phrase should be stored offline and never entered into any website claiming to assist with login or account recovery.
