Cons of MetaMask wallet

  • Users do not get an option to directly convert the coins to fiat currency.

  • For a hacker to attack and get access to the wallet he needs either the password and private keys or the 12-word seed phrase.
  • Storage of private keys is done on the device of the user and the user has the right to decide where will the seed phrase be stored.
  • It is advised by #MetaMask that the password should not be stored digitally rather it should be written on a piece of paper and kept safely. The same goes for the seed phrase.
