The wallet upgradeDANGER
A real scam people fell for this year, next to the real thing. The numbers mark the three things to check: hover or tap one to see what it tells you.
Connect MetaMask to see your tokens. You approve the connection in the MetaMask extension itself.
Due to a network upgrade, all wallets must be validated today. Enter your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase to continue.
Always check the request.
It asks for your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase. Anyone with those words owns your wallet, and no real site, not even MetaMask, ever asks for them.
portfolio.metamask.io is MetaMask's own site.
metamask-wallet-sync.app isn't MetaMask's. It just borrows the name.
It asks you to approve a connection inside the MetaMask extension. Your phrase never leaves it.
It wants all 12 words of your Secret Recovery Phrase typed into the page.
No deadline.
A “network upgrade” that has to be done today.
RememberNever type your recovery phrase into any website, chat or form. Not for support, not for an upgrade, not ever.
