Here is a step-by-step guide on how to switch between accounts in MetaMask, specifically for linking address lists:
Switching to Account B (or any other linked account)
To link multiple accounts and seamlessly switch between them, follow these steps. Note that this process assumes you have already set up MetaMask with each of the linked accounts.
1. Connect all accounts
First, make sure all accounts are connected and verified in your MetaMask wallet. If an account is not already connected, click “Connect” next to it in the list.
Switching between accounts
- Open MetaMask
– Launch MetaMask on any device.
– Make sure you have at least one account connected (this can be a single account or multiple accounts, but only one connection is required to switch).
- Add Account A
– Click the “Account List” button in the top right corner of MetaMask. This will open a drop-down list of all your connected wallets.
- Select Account B
– Find the account you want to switch to (in this case, Account B). Select it from the drop-down list.
- Switch to Account A or B
– To switch back to Account A or keep the current connection to one of the other accounts, click “Disconnect” next to the account name in the same window.
- Pop-up Sign-in Message (Optional)
If a pop-up signature message appears after switching accounts, it usually lists the transaction details and asks if you want to sign the message. You can choose to:
– Yes: Sign the message.
– No: Don’t sign the message.
– Later: Choose this option later in the session.
Important Notes
– Each account you add is reviewed individually before allowing the switch.
– Switching accounts does not affect your MetaMask balance or transaction history.
– You can switch accounts at any time by following these steps.
– Make sure all accounts are synced and up to date before attempting to switch between them, especially if there have been any transactions affecting those accounts.
This guide should help you navigate connecting multiple MetaMask accounts. If you encounter any issues during the switching process or have additional questions about MetaMask features, feel free to ask!
