A password plays a very significant role in the safety and security of our online accounts- be it our social media accounts, shopping portal accounts, or crypto trading accounts. The same is the case with a MetaMask wallet. Therefore, it is very important that we never reveal or share our passwords with anyone if we wish to ensure the safety of this wallet.

But, in addition to creating a strong password, it is also recommended that you keep on changing your password whenever possible. By doing this, you can multiply the safety of your accounts because it reduced the chances of account/wallet hacking. In light of that, we are now going to guide you on how you can change your MetaMask sign in password.
