According to the secret phrase wallet can be used through other wallets. SafePal as an example. After all, the password in Metamask is not a wallet password, it's just access to the app.

My Metamask won't accept my password and I know it is correct.  I have the seed phrase and the password I created to sign up for the metamask.  If I reset my wallet, is there a chance I would lose my coins? I can't have that.  Also, is the "password" different than the seed phrase,,, becaue it accepted this password before.. I didn't change it.

Before I could just reload the phone and it would ask for the face id and I would be good to go.... please advise if you know what to do or have been through this before.

thank you

Metamask does not require a password if you want to set or uninstall Metamask and then reactivate it. Only 12/24 phrases you need to back up. You can reset the password after the import phrase. Actually Metamask also supports the phrase MyEtherWallet. If you create a wallet from MEW, you can also import MEW phrases into Metamask.
I always prefer to keep the private key of each wallet in addition.
This will save the user from many problems. If the metamask is not installed or does not work, then you can use any other wallet.
For serious savings, I use a hardware wallet, and for small operations and testing projects and transferring approvals to them, it is convenient to use metamask wallets.
Actually, hardware wallets with software wallets also require a backup phrase for access. If we lose the phrase, whatever form of the wallet we use is also inaccessible. We need to save the private key, or phrase of any wallet properly so as not to lose assets. When we make a wallet, the word warning needs to be read carefully. However, some people rarely pay attention to it, because when the wallet is created, most of them only save the wallet address which is not really important, because it can still be retrieved when accessed to the wallet.
We also need to be careful on centralized exchange platforms. This also requires the user to complete know your customer/ KYC to be able to withdraw assets from the platform. So don't deposit when the KYC has not been verified, because it is possible that if the deposit is completed, the KYC will fail, and in the end if successive errors will be blocked. Learning crypto isn't just about profit.

MetaMask is one of the most important crypto wallets. Using the MetaMask wallet is extremely easy. It connects DApps and traders. They offer many services that are sure to become more popular in the future. If you still have the seed phrase you can ask for the password again, I've had the same error before, no need to worry because your everything will still be yours. To avoid this problem, you can update the software using the metamask more often.

If you do not change your password and know your seed phrase, you can reset your wallet in Metamask. This will not damage your assets. I have reset my wallet on Metamask a few times and there is no problem.

No problem as long as you have your wallet private key. You can open metamask using new password but you may get different address when you open it. After you open your metamask with your new password you can simple import account your private key to recover your old wallet address with your funds.

please go ahead and reset your account. as long as you have the seed and paraphase. you can recover and nothing will lose. Make sure you have the accurate details. some people has different or multiple accounts. Maybe you are trying to log into another account with different details. Be sure you are using the right credentials for the account. if not rest.

i just reset my wallet with metamask and teh see phrase and there are no coins onit!  Does it have to load all the other coins one at a time? I am kind of scared... I clearly have the right see phrase.  Has anyone everhad this happen before?
It is easy to log in if we keep our 12 words keys which is easy for us to access. Metamask is really as secure site and I've stored most of my Token to be hold.

I think the Metamask password is not very important. It just serves to secure the wallet on the browsing. The most important thing you backup is the seed phrase. And you can change the password by re-importing the seed phrase. Your token will not be lost even if you have changed the login password, unless you lose the seed phrase, all your tokens will be lost.

I have the right phrase on the new wallet address.  Where can I get the private key in my metamask to do what you suggest? Is it listed as part of the metamask itself?

All wallets in every account
in MM remains the same whether your token is lost or not. I just copy the wallet address, look for it on Etherscan and at the bottom the section where you see transactions for that wallet address, click tab for Tokens. When you drag that screen up, you should find your token contract address. Once you have it, copy and paste it into Metamask in Tokens section. Your token will automatically be withdrawn from that point.
Hope you can help

Are you sure there is no capital letter in the password, also check for letter such as "i" and "l".
From another approach, if you are sure of the seed phrase, to be on the safer side, import you seed phrase to another wallet and check your coins , you can't afford making such mistakes now, in the same way, if you have the wallet address, you can also view it on wallets like Trust wallet without importing to view your tokens and coins.
Just to add again, I find Tokenpocket more better as it supports many networks and chains, just making it easier to use then Metamask. Other wallets you can try depending on your smartphone if that is the case is imtoken.

now I am getting the "deeplink not supported" thing on my iphone if you know a fix for that. boy this is frustratng.  I just cleared my cookie and cash setting in security.
Instead of continuing to use metamask, try with trust wallet on your iphone. https://trustwallet.com/
Download trust wallet and enter your seed. I think trust wallet is probably easier to use for you.
Trust Wallet or Metamask are both non-custodial wallets, wallet does not hold your private key, you are the real owner of your wallet. trust wallet or metamask are just doors to your "house", using any door you can enter your house. Therefore, you can transfer your wallet from trust wallet to metamask easily and vice versa.

If the seed phrase doesn't disappear, it looks like your wallet will be fine, especially if you keep the private key from the wallet then there will be no problem if we forget the password in Metamask, I'm also a Metamask user but I always import the address I use so even though if you lose your metamask password, of course you just need to create a new one and re-import the address using the private key.

Sorry, I think I have given an invalid link. But anyways, here is the correct link for metamask.
- https://metamask.io/

I know how to add coins done it way too much but my bnb balance isn't even there and I can't even buy a single coin the coin doesn't even pop up on pancake swap?
Okay. Have you switched your RPC? If you're using BNB, then it is most likely that your BNB can be found on the Binance Smart Chain.

Go to your Account > Settings > Network > Add Networks and input the following information below.

Network Name: Binance Smart Chain
New RPC URL: https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/
Chain ID: 56
Symbol: BNB
Block Explorer: https://bscscan.com/

I experienced this in metamask where in i want to change the security but it wouldn't accept my password which i know is correct. I always save the seed phrases of my wallets so that if anything occured unexpectedly i have it and i can restored my wallet everytime. And you will not lose your coins because until you have your seed phrase secured.
