I am new to MM. I have a similar problem after reinstalling my MM.
The seed phrase is not working as we are logically thinking. MM is not keeping any record of our accounts.
But the blockchain does.
After giving up more the one week ago I recently recuperate my funds.
This is what I find out.
I reinstall the app/addon (I use the same password, I don’t think is making a difference).
You get a new account: Account1
Now, you can check that account address on Etherscan https://etherscan.io/ where you will find the transactions.
In my case, I had four or five accounts. I create, in the app/addons more New accounts, and check everyone on Etherscan until I find the one was holding my RARE bag.
When you find your bag, how to add it? You have to find the Transaction address. When you are in the Transaction address windows, on Etherscan, you will find in the top right, three vertical dots. Click here and, if everything is OK, you will have the option to “add to web3” (o something similar I don’t remember) bum! your bag will be added to your account.
Remember that the MM wallet has to be in the correct Network and correct account.
If you have an unusual Token, like me (RARE) you will have to do it manually.
To do it manually, in my case I have to be in the correct account. Go to + Add Tokens > Custom Token and write the Token Address [the Transaction Address] that you will find on Etherscan. And that it.
Was not easy to find out all this. In my case, everything was done via Firefox/Addon.
Later I managed to replicate it on the phone App.
The only thing I haven’t manage to replicate on the phone is to connect PancakeSwap with my MM wallet.
Good luck! and remember Etherscan is your friend!
Recently, I accidentally deleted my MetaMask account but managed to recover it by using my secret phrase. I can see my coins etc… I encountered a problem while attempting to revoke stake delegation from Moonbeam DApps. Despite confirming with my Trezor hardware, no action was executed. I can connect with MetaMask to Moonbeam dapps web page and see staked tokens, but I’m not able recover my delegated coins any more.
I got suggestion from Trezor support to try recover MetaMask in Fireforx browser, so I did but now I don’t see my account, it’s complete mess in this acc. because I add manually some more accounts and I lost it now…
I have my initial secred phrase!
