Connect using MetaMask

Steps to connect and disconnect MetaMask from Dapps, view list of sites connected to MetaMask

Connect MetaMask Account to Dapp

So you have MetaMask now and you want to start using Dapps (if you do not already have MetaMask downloaded, please refer here). In this tutorial we will be using a forked Uniswap on our Testnet as the Dapp we want to interact with, the process should be similar with any Dapp.

Only connect to websites that you trust. Always check that the URL is correct, and bookmark Dapps that you regularly visit/use.

1. Click on 'Connect Wallet' or 'Connect to a wallet'. Other Dapps will have similar buttons for the user to connect their wallet to start using the application.

2. Select 'MetaMask'

3. The MetaMask extension will prompt you to select which Account to connect to. Select the account you want to connect and click 'Next'

4. The MetaMask extension will take you to another page showing you what the site is requesting for, click 'Connect'.

5. It will show that MetaMask is connecting for a short moment and the extension will automatically close.

6. Now, you will see your address of the account at the top right hand corner instead of 'Connect to a wallet'

7. You can now start using the application! When you open the MetaMask extension, you will see on the top left that it is 'Connected'

Click on 'Connect Wallet'

Select 'MetaMask'

Select the account you want to connect, and click 'Next'

Click 'Connect'

Connecting..

Once connected, the address of the account connected will be shown at the top right

The MetaMask extension will show it is 'Connected'

Disconnect MetaMask from Dapp

By disconnecting MetaMask from the websites that you have connected to, the sites will no longer have the ability to read or access your wallet information. It is a good practice to have when you are no longer using the dapps.

Sometimes dapps have an option to disconnect your wallet. You are still strongly encouraged to disconnect via MetaMask

There are two ways to disconnect MetaMask from sites:

From 'Connected sites' List

Once you have navigated to the list of 'Connected sites', instructions can be found above.

1. Click on the 'trash bin' icon by the website url

2. Click on 'Disconnect'

Click on the 'three dot' icon and click on 'Connected sites'

Click on 'trash bin' icon

Click on 'Disconnect'

While on Website

While you are on the website and have already connected to it, open MetaMask and you will see 'Connected' near the top left corner.

1. Click on 'Connected'

2. Click on the 'three dots' icon

3. Click on 'Disconnect this account'

Click on 'Connected'

Click on the 'three dots' icon

Click on 'Disconnect this account'

The 'Connected' status has changed to 'Not connected'
