Quick Guide - MetaMask Setup

By @pr3datr0n3/13/2018cryptocurrency
  • Head to https://metamask.io/
  • Depending on the browser you are using, select the appropriate link to install the plugin (I recommend Firefox or Brave)
  • Open up MetaMask by clicking the fox icon on your browser, usually near the top right
  • You will receive a notice saying that MetaMask is beta software,click "Accept"
  • Next you'll need to scroll to the bottom of the TOS then click "Accept"
  • Now you will be asked to create a password. Make sure you choose a secure password that has not been used elsewhere. Don't forget this password, it is required to access your money within the wallet, and it is NOT recoverable.
  • The next screen will show you a phrase of 12 words. Write down these words in a SAFE place, these are also required to access your money.
  • Once you're done saving the phrase, click "I've copied it somewhere safe"
  • Congratulations, you've set up your MetaMask wallet! Now we just need to add some Ether.
  • To access your address, click the (...) button in the top right, and click "Copy Address To Clipboard".
  • You can now paste this address into your exchange or other wallet, and fund it with ETH
  • Keep in mind this is whats known as a "hot" wallet, don't send more ETH than you intend to use in the near future.
