Recover cryptocurrency – Metamask browser extension
I recently had an issue where I lost my Metamask wallet and couldn’t access my cryptocurrency. I had been using the Metamask browser extension on the Chrome browser and I’m not exactly sure how the problem occurred.
Inside my Metamask wallet was about £10000 of cryptocurrency, so I’m sure you can understand why I was anxious to get it back. Google searches revealed some excellent results in the form of recovering a lost Metamask wallet using a browser extension and with the help of that site I was able to learn how to get my cryptocurrency back.
One of the things I didn’t do, which I now understand would have hampered my attempts was to delete the Metamask extension and reinstall it. In some cases this removes the wallet data and once that has happened the Metamask account can’t be recovered.
