Metamask Extension Bug Permissions Removing Hardware Wallet Acc
System ArchiveMetamask Extension Bug Permissions Removing Hardware Wallet Acc Symptom Users experience an issue where removing a hardware wallet account from Metamask 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, where the removal of a hardware wallet account does not properly revoke the previously granted permissions, leaving them active and potentially exposing the user's wallet to unauthorized access. Manual Overrides Attempt to manually revoke permissions using the eth_revokeAccess method Use the Metamask API to remove the hardware wallet account and associated permissions Utilize the following JSONRPC command to clear permissions: json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_revokeAccess", "params": ["hardware_wallet_address"], "id": 1 } Prerequisites: Metamask extension installed and configured Hardware wallet account connected to Metamask Basic understanding of JSONRPC commands For further debugging, consider using an external console to execute these commands.
