Metamask issue: eth_requestAccounts' returns an array containing a single account
As a Metamask user, you are probably familiar with theeth_requestAccounts’ method, which allows users to select the accounts they want to enable access to in the MetaMask interface. However, sometimes this method returns an array containing a single account instead of multiple accounts.
What’s happening?
This issue can occur for a variety of reasons, including:
- Multiple requests: If you make multiple requests in quick succession using
eth_requestAccounts', the API may get confused and return only a single account.
- Account selection limitations: Theeth_requestAccounts’ method may not support selecting multiple accounts at once, resulting in an array containing a single account.
Troubleshooting Steps
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- Check the MetaMask API documentation: Make sure you are using the correct
eth_requestAccounts' endpoint and parameters for your use case.
- Check account selection restrictions
: Check your MetaMask settings to make sure that multiple accounts can be selected at once.
Code example
Here is an updated example of how you can check account selection restrictions.
const ethereum = logs['ethereum'];
const requestPermissions = ethereum.request({
method: 'eth_requestAccounts',
parameters: [
{
account: '0x...', // Replace with selected account
allow non-standard signers: true,
includePrivateKeys: false, // Optional, set to True if private keys are required
includeExcludedAccounts: true, // Optional, set to True if you want to select accounts that are excluded from the current account
}
]
});
if (requestPermissions.length > 1) {
console.log('Multiple accounts selected:', requestPermissions[0].account);
} else {
console.log('Only one account selected:', requestPermissions[0].account);
}
Conclusion
If you are still having issues with eth_requestAccounts’ returning an array containing a single account, try checking your MetaMask settings and API documentation. By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and successfully select multiple accounts using the `eth_requestAccounts’ method.
