“Avoid These 5 Mistakes When You Log-In | MetaMask®” 🚨🧠

MetaMask is an amazing tool—until you make a mistake. Whether you’re new to crypto or just logging into your tenth dApp of the day, there are a few traps that can compromise your funds or data. In this blog, we’ll cover 5 common mistakes to avoid when using the “Log-In | MetaMask®” flow.

❌ Mistake #1: Clicking on Fake MetaMask Login Pages

Scammers love creating copycat sites like:

These ask for your seed phrase and steal your wallet. Rule of thumb: MetaMask will never ask for your 12 words on login.

✅ Always type: https://metamask.io
✅ Bookmark it. Never Google it. 🔖

❌ Mistake #2: Blindly Approving Connections

When you log into a dApp, always:

• 🔍 Check the dApp's legitimacy
• 👀 Review the wallet connection request
• 🧠 Understand what you're signing

Don’t connect to every site that asks. Some can drain your wallet after you sign malicious messages.

❌ Mistake #3: Forgetting to Disconnect

Most users leave their wallets connected to dozens of dApps. This increases your exposure.

✅ Go to MetaMask → Settings → Connected Sites
✅ Disconnect anything you’re not using

It’s like logging out of public Wi-Fi—basic hygiene. 🧼

❌ Mistake #4: Using Only One Wallet

If you use the same wallet for trading, gaming, and NFT minting, you’re putting all your assets in one place.

✅ Use separate wallets for:

• Main holdings 💰
• DeFi experiments 🧪
• NFT mints 🎨

MetaMask makes this easy—just create multiple accounts in one click. 🎛️

❌ Mistake #5: Skipping Hardware Wallet Integration

You can pair MetaMask with:

• 🔐 Ledger
• 🔐 Trezor

This protects your funds even if your browser is compromised.

✅ Use a hardware wallet for serious holdings
✅ Only sign transactions when your device is physically connected

✅ Bottom Line

Logging in with MetaMask is powerful—but power requires caution. By avoiding these five mistakes, you’ll keep your Web3 experience safe and stress-free. 🦊💪
