If you are currently making use of the MetaMask Chrome extension, it is essential to disable it before proceeding further. This step is crucial to ensure that there are no conflicts or issues when you begin using the TrustVault with the MetaMask extension.
⚠️ It is imperative that you back up your seed phrase. This is a critical piece of information that you will need to input when you start using the TrustVault in conjunction with the MetaMask Chrome extension. Losing access to your seed phrase could result in the inability to recover your wallet, so please take this precaution seriously.
To effectively disable the MetaMask extension, please follow the steps outlined below:
- Begin by opening your Chrome browser. Once it is open, navigate to the top menu bar and click on 'Window'. From the drop-down menu, select 'Extensions'. This will take you to a page displaying all the extensions currently installed in your Chrome browser.
2. Once you are on the extensions page, you will see a list of all the extensions that you have installed in your Chrome browser. Locate the MetaMask extension in this list. To disable it, simply click on the toggle button associated with it. This action will turn the extension off, ensuring that it no longer operates in your browser.
4. Next, you will need to find the TrustVault extension in the same list of extensions. To activate it, click on the toggle button next to TrustVault. This will enable the extension, allowing you to use it alongside the MetaMask extension.
5. Finally, look for the TrustVault extension icon located at the top right corner of your Chrome browser. To begin using it, click on the icon. This will launch the TrustVault interface, allowing you to access its features and functionalities.
With these steps completed, you are now fully prepared to utilise the TrustVault alongside the MetaMask Chrome extension. If you require assistance with connecting your TrustVault accounts to MetaMask, you can find our comprehensive tutorial here.
