Metamask Extension Bug Permissions Removing Hardware Wallet Acc

Metamask Extension Bug Permissions Removing Hardware Wallet Acc Symptom Users experience an issue where removing hardware wallet accounts from Metamask does not clear the associated permissions, resulting in unexpected behavior and potential security risks. Technical Root Cause The error occurs due to a bug in the Metamask extension, where the removal of hardware wallet accounts does not properly revoke the previously granted permissions, leading to a discrepancy between the expected and actual state of account permissions. Manual Overrides Attempt to manually revoke permissions by editing the Metamask extension's storage: Delete the relevant account information from the accounts array Update the permissions object to reflect the removal of the hardware wallet account Use the following JSON configuration to reset the permissions: json { "accounts": [ { "address": "0x...new_account...", "permission": "none" } ], "permissions": { "hardwareWallet": false } } Consider utilizing an external console to execute these commands for more flexibility. Prerequisites Metamask extension installed and configured Hardware wallet account previously connected to Metamask Basic understanding of JSON configuration and Metamask extension internals
