- Expert's conclusion:MetaMask has an advantage for Web3 native customers who know how to be responsible for their wallet and its contents — but an extreme disadvantage for consumers that need to find the same functionality of a typical financial account (i.e., if someone loses their password they can't get back into the account). In addition to that, MetaMask's wallet isn't good for consumers who prefer a third party to manage their money (as in, when you give them money, they will handle it).
