At this time, make sure to remember your **secret recovery syntax!**
{% endhint %}

If you forget the secret recovery syntax, **you cannot retrieve the virtual wallet information.**

You can now click on the **Metamask profile** pinned to the top of Chrome to see the **information of your virtual wallet**, such as the address of your wallet and the Ethereum you have.
