If you are using the MetaMask browser extension, click on the MetaMask icon in your browser toolbar to open the extension. Then click "Import using Secret Recovery Phrase" and enter the 12-word seed phrase you wrote down when you first created your wallet.
If you are using the MetaMask mobile app, open the app and tap "Import using Secret Recovery Phrase". Enter the 12-word seed phrase you saved when setting up your wallet.
After entering your seed phrase, create a new password to encrypt your wallet on this device. Make sure to use a strong, unique password.
Once logged in, you will see your MetaMask wallet dashboard where you can view your account balance, send and receive Ethereum and other tokens, and interact with decentralized applications.
It's crucial to keep your 12-word seed phrase secure, as anyone with access to it can control your wallet. Never share your seed phrase with anyone. If you lose access to your wallet, you can always restore it using the seed phrase on another device.
If you are a new user, the MetaMask onboarding process will guide you through creating a new wallet and backing up your seed phrase. Let me know if you have any other questions!
