Hi,
I was playing around with Brave a couple of nights ago and created a metamask crypto wallet. My computer crashed before I got a chance to write the seed words down. Thankfully I didn’t fund the wallet so no harm done.
However, I now want to create a new wallet and link it with metamask. However the only option I have is to restore my old & unfunded wallet.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can proceed?
