Hello,

The secondary wallets i had in MetaMask aren’t loading anymore? Before when i reinstalled MetaMask it saw all my secondary wallets I had created inside MetaMask. Now they aren’t loading anymore.

MM will automatically add additional accounts from a few different methods:  
1: if you use account backup and sync, youll get each of the connected subaccounts.  
2: If there is eth in account #2 it gets added, and #3 is checked, and so on down the line.

If there’s an account missing from the list, accounts dropdown \> Add account (makes sure to click/tap add account under the correct Wallet, if you have multiple added)

Deriving accounts is a deterministic process, so youll get the same accounts in the same order each time.

will just need to “add acount” 4 times.

Welcome to reach out to the support chat so we can take a closer look to see why they’re not being automatically re-added.
