Description:
I am locked out of a MetaMask wallet that was created using Google social login. I have lost the MetaMask password and the Secret Recovery Phrase.
Purpose:
I understand that the old wallet cannot be recovered, and I am not asking for recovery. There were no assets in it, so I am willing to abandon it permanently. I would like to keep using the same Google account/email and create a completely new, empty MetaMask wallet with a new password and new recovery setup.
Extension/Mobile/Both:
Both, if possible.
Questions:
Is there a supported way to detach or delete the old MetaMask wallet association from my Google account and create a new wallet under the same Google account?
If not, can MetaMask close or reset the old MetaMask social-login profile so I can register again with the same Google account?
I will not share my password, Secret Recovery Phrase, private keys, or wallet address. Please let me know the official steps, if any.
No, you cannot reset your Google social login to create a new empty wallet. There is unfortunately no supported way to detach, delete, or reset an old MetaMask wallet association from your Google account.
Because MetaMask is a self-custodial wallet provider, they do not maintain a central database of user profiles and cannot modify or “wipe” the cryptographic share tied to your Google identity. Any wallet initialized via Google social login is permanently linked to that specific Google account.
You can read the article details:- How to reset your MetaMask wallet | MetaMask Help Center. As stated by MetaMask, users who access their wallet via a social login cannot disconnect their accounts. If you try to use that same Google account on a fresh installation, the system will always recognize the existing association and attempt to restore your old, locked wallet.
Since you are willing to permanently abandon the empty wallet, here are the only official ways to move forward and set up a new one:
1. You can create a Traditional Wallet (Same Google Email). You can continue using your preferred Google email address, but you must bypass the social login button. Download a fresh instance of MetaMask and choose “Create a new wallet” using the traditional Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP) method. This will generate a standard, isolated 12-word seed phrase completely independent of your Google account infrastructure.
2. You can use a Different Google Account. If you strictly want the convenience of the social login infrastructure (logging in with a button click), you must use a completely separate, secondary Google account to initialize a fresh social login wallet with a new password.
