ATTENTION! MetaMask has a big BUG！｜注意啊，MetaMask 有个大 BUG 啊！！

Firstly，MetaMask is a very good Ethereum wallet for everyone to use, but there is a big BUG you should pay more attention.

When you first use the wallet, you need to take down the seed prase( several words) and set up the password, you will get the Account 1,then you can easily create Account 2, 3, 4...

If you close the browser, you will need to input the password to reopen the wallet, and all the accounts are there.

But if you delete the cache of the browser you have to use the seed prase to reopen the wallet, you will find only one account left, is the Account 1, the other accounts lost.

In github, there are a lot of people to talk about it.

the seed phrases I backed up from MetaMask did not restore the accounts they were given. #3042

And the team of MetaMask also give out the bounty:

Seed Phrase Bug Bounty #3127

hope you can avoid the problem;

if you have several accounts, download the private key of every account;
if you have a lot accounts, never let the browser broken or delete the cache;
wait for the newest version

Good Luck, everyone. Don't follow my mistake, it's too sad.

首先，MetaMask 是一款非常好用的以太坊钱包，但是这里有个大坑你要注意。

当你第一次使用 MetaMask 的时候，他会让你记录下一串字母和设置密码，这些非常重要，同时你会建立起第一个账户：Account 1，而同时你还能不断增加新的账户，但是这些新的账户是没有种子字母和密码的，这里就有个问题了。

一般情况下，你关掉浏览器，MetaMask 要求你重新输入密码就可以登录。但当我清除浏览器缓存的时候，MetaMask 需要我输入种子字母和设置新的密码，一进入发现只有 Account 1，我生成的其他账户一个都没了！我没有密码也没有下载私钥，更没有种子字母。我参加空投的那些 ERC20 代币全没了……哭！

在 github 上, 已经有不少人也遇到这样的问题：
