What Happened to Your MetaMask?
MetaMask issues fall into several distinct categories, each with a different forensic approach. Identify your situation below — or contact us and we will assess it for you.
Forgotten MetaMask Password
MetaMask requires a password to unlock the local vault. If you have forgotten it but still have your seed phrase, recovery is straightforward. If the seed phrase is also lost, specialist vault decryption analysis may apply.
Start Recovery →Lost or Partial Seed Phrase
MetaMask generates a 12-word BIP39 seed phrase. If some words are missing, damaged, or unreadable, our specialists can apply word-list permutation analysis to reconstruct the full phrase — often from as few as 8–10 known words.
Seed Phrase Recovery →MetaMask Hacked or Drained
Funds moved without your knowledge. This typically indicates a compromised seed phrase, a malicious token approval, or a phishing attack. Immediate blockchain tracing identifies the destination wallets for exchange reporting and legal evidence.
Forensic Investigation →Deleted Browser Extension
Removing MetaMask from Chrome, Firefox, or Brave deletes the local vault file. However, encrypted vault data may survive in browser cache, device backups, or profile storage. Our device forensics team can scan for recoverable vault files.
Assess My Case →Malicious Token Approval Active
A phishing site or fake DApp may have been granted unlimited access to your tokens via a setApproval transaction. Even after partial drain, revoking active approvals immediately stops further loss. Emergency response available 24/7.
MetaMask Mobile App Lost
Lost or factory reset a phone running MetaMask Mobile without exporting the seed phrase. Encrypted wallet data may persist in Android or iOS encrypted backups. Our mobile forensics specialists can attempt vault extraction depending on device and backup state.
Mobile Recovery →Wrong Network Transaction
Sent ERC-20 tokens on the wrong network (e.g., ETH sent via BSC, or tokens to a Polygon address). Since MetaMask supports multiple networks with the same address format, cross-chain recovery involves accessing the target address on the correct chain using wallet credentials.
Network Recovery →Phishing Site Compromise
Entered seed phrase on a fake MetaMask site or support page. Once a seed phrase is exposed, the wallet is permanently compromised. The priority becomes tracing drained funds, revoking remaining approvals, and building legal documentation.
Phishing Response →Corrupted Vault File
MetaMask vault files can become corrupted following browser crashes, forced updates, or file system errors. Specialist vault repair and partial data extraction techniques can sometimes recover the encrypted keystore even from a damaged vault file.
Vault Repair →What to Do Right Now
The steps you take in the first hour after a MetaMask incident significantly affect both recovery probability and the quality of on-chain evidence. Follow this guide before contacting anyone.
- Do not enter your seed phrase into any website, form, or support chat — MetaMask support will never ask for it
- Do not send additional ETH for “gas fees” or “unlock fees” — these are always scam follow-ups
- Do not use another wallet to send funds into the compromised wallet — they will be drained immediately
- Do not contact “MetaMask recovery experts” who DM you on social media or Telegram — all are scams
- Do not reinstall MetaMask over the existing installation before vault files have been examined
- Disconnect your wallet from all DApps and revoke any active token approvals via Etherscan token approval checker
- Screenshot every recent transaction from your MetaMask activity log and note all wallet addresses involved
- Record every transaction hash (TXID) from your wallet history — these are the core of any investigation
- Do not clear browser cache, uninstall MetaMask, or reset your device until specialist guidance has been received
- Contact Jayglotech’s emergency recovery line with your transaction hashes and a description of what happened
How Jayglotech Recovers MetaMask Wallets
A structured, six-phase forensic process built around your specific scenario — fully transparent, fully secure, and handled exclusively by your assigned certified specialist.
Free Case Intake & Assessment
Submit your situation via our secure contact form. A specialist reviews your case within 24 hours, assesses recovery probability for your specific scenario, and provides a transparent evaluation at no cost and with no commitment.
Vault & Wallet Architecture Analysis
Depending on case type: MetaMask vault file identification, encryption format analysis, device backup scanning, or on-chain transaction mapping begins under encrypted protocols. Sensitive materials are handled via secure transfer only.
Seed Phrase Reconstruction or Password Recovery
For partial seed phrases, BIP39 word-list permutation analysis is applied. For forgotten passwords, custom dictionary and vault-targeted brute-force techniques are used against the encrypted vault file — never the live wallet.
Blockchain Forensic Tracing
For hacked wallets, professional-grade tools trace fund flows across wallet hops, chain bridges, and exchange deposits. Suspicious token approvals are identified and an emergency revocation plan is executed where applicable.
Exchange Reporting & Freeze Requests
If stolen funds passed through regulated exchanges such as Binance or Coinbase, formal freeze requests are submitted with fully documented transaction evidence. Speed is critical — this step is initiated as early as possible in the case.
Forensic Evidence Package Delivery
Every case concludes with a legally structured forensic report documenting the wallet architecture, transaction timeline, fund flows, and all recovery actions taken — suitable for regulatory submissions, legal proceedings, or insurance claims.

What Information to Prepare
Gathering the right information before submitting your case accelerates our assessment and maximises the information available for forensic investigation. Here is exactly what to collect.
Your MetaMask Wallet Address
Your public 0x address (not your seed phrase or private key). This allows us to immediately begin on-chain analysis of your wallet’s transaction history before the assessment call.
Transaction Hashes (TXIDs)
The transaction ID of any suspicious or relevant transfers. Find these in Etherscan by searching your wallet address. Copy the full hash for each transaction you are concerned about.
Partial Seed Phrase Details
If your seed phrase is partially known: write down every word you remember and its position (e.g., word 3: “river”). Include any words you are unsure about. Do not share this via standard email — our team will provide a secure channel.
Browser & Device Information
Which browser and operating system MetaMask was installed on (Chrome/Windows, Firefox/Mac, etc.), when the extension was last working, and whether you have any device backups from that period.
Screenshots of Recent Activity
Screenshot your MetaMask activity log if you can still access it, any suspicious transaction confirmations, and any phishing sites or communications you interacted with before the issue occurred.
Timeline of Events
A brief description in chronological order: when you last had access, what you did before the issue appeared, and when you first noticed the problem. This context is often more valuable than technical data.
Never share your complete seed phrase or private key in the initial contact form, email, or any chat platform. Our specialists will provide an encrypted, secure submission method for sensitive recovery materials if it becomes necessary. Any service requesting your seed phrase via standard contact is a scam.
MetaMask Recovery FAQ
The questions our MetaMask recovery specialists receive most often, answered directly.
Can MetaMask be recovered without the seed phrase?
In some cases, yes. If you still have access to the device where MetaMask was installed and know your wallet password, the vault file can be decrypted without the seed phrase. If the vault file survives on the device after extension deletion, specialist vault extraction techniques may apply. However, if neither the vault file nor any portion of the seed phrase is available, full recovery is not possible — our assessment will tell you honestly which situation you are in.
What if I only remember some of my MetaMask seed phrase words?
Partial seed phrase recovery is one of our most common case types. MetaMask uses a 12-word BIP39 mnemonic. If you remember the correct words but not their order, or know most words but are missing a few, our specialists apply systematic word-list permutation analysis. The more words and positional information you can provide, the higher the probability of reconstruction. We have successfully worked with cases where clients remembered as few as 8 of 12 words.
My MetaMask was drained. Is it too late to do anything?
It is never too late to investigate, though acting quickly significantly improves the outcome. Even if funds have been moved, blockchain forensics can permanently trace exactly where they went. If stolen funds passed through a regulated exchange, freeze requests can be filed with documented evidence. The forensic report produced also has legal value for reporting to authorities and pursuing civil remedies. Contact our emergency team immediately — every hour matters for on-chain tracing.
How do I know if a malicious token approval is still active on my MetaMask?
You can check active approvals yourself using the Etherscan token approval checker at etherscan.io — search your wallet address and look for the “Token Approvals” tab. Any approval showing “Unlimited” or a very large amount to an unrecognised contract address is suspicious. Revoking these approvals requires sending a small gas transaction. Our specialists can handle this process safely and comprehensively if you are unsure which approvals to revoke.
I deleted MetaMask. Can the vault file still be recovered from my browser?
Possibly. When MetaMask is removed from Chrome or Firefox, the extension’s local storage directory may not be immediately overwritten by the operating system. The exact location varies by browser and OS: on Windows, Chrome extension data is stored in AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings. Our forensic team knows exactly where to look and can scan for recoverable vault files before any further device use makes recovery impossible.
Does Jayglotech charge before starting the recovery assessment?
No. The initial case assessment is always free and carries no commitment. After assessment, your specialist will clearly explain the recovery approach and associated costs before any work begins. We never charge large upfront fees without demonstrating our methodology first. If a “recovery service” demands significant payment before providing any assessment of your specific case, treat it as a red flag — secondary recovery scams specifically targeting MetaMask victims are extremely common.
What chains and tokens does Jayglotech support for MetaMask recovery?
MetaMask supports multiple EVM-compatible networks, and our forensic capability covers all of them: Ethereum mainnet (ETH and all ERC-20 tokens), Polygon (MATIC), BNB Smart Chain (BNB and BEP-20 tokens), Avalanche (AVAX), Arbitrum, Optimism, and any other EVM chain configured in the wallet. For non-EVM assets, we assess case by case. If your MetaMask held USDT, USDC, WBTC, or any major ERC-20 or BEP-20 token, we have full forensic coverage.
