Metamask Extension Bug Permissions Removing Hardware Wallet Acc

Metamask Extension Bug Permissions Removing Hardware Wallet Acc Symptom Users experience issues with the Metamask extension where removing a hardware wallet account does not clear the associated permissions, resulting in persistent access and potential security risks. Technical Root Cause The error occurs due to a bug in the Metamask extension's permission management system, which fails to properly revoke access when a hardware wallet account is removed. Manual Overrides Attempt to manually revoke permissions using the eth_accounts and eth_requestAccounts methods. Utilize the Metamask API to directly remove account permissions with the following JSON payload: json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_removeAccount", "params": ["account_address"], "id": 1 } Use the mmreset command to reset Metamask to its default state. Prerequisites: Metamask extension installed and configured Hardware wallet connected and accounts added Basic understanding of JSONRPC methods For further debugging, consider using an external console to inspect and modify the Metamask extension's internal state.
