However, this process ends when MetaMask encounters an account with 0 ETH - so the first account with 0 ETH (and any beyond it) will not be added.īear in mind that this process only checks for balances of ETH on Ethereum mainnet, so other tokens or tokens on other networks will not result in your account being automatically re-added.įor any that are not re-added automatically, you have to add the account in the standard way.

MetaMask will attempt to add your additional accounts where possible (assuming they were not imported) by checking your previous accounts in ascending order (i.e. When you restore a wallet using your Secret Recovery Phrase, MetaMask will automatically re-add any additional accounts you had previously added - but only under certain conditions.
You cannot edit or change your Secret Recovery Phrase. They need to be manually re-added in the same way you imported them originally.ĭO NOT share your Secret Recovery Phrase with anyone! These words can be used to steal all your accounts. Any imported accounts will not be re-added when you restore your wallet using your Secret Recovery Phrase.
