Metamask-extension: Missing accounts after vault recovery

Briefly describe the issue you've encountered

  • Expected Behavior
    That after recovering the Vault from my seed words, all my account would be there. I had two account created within Metamask, the original plus one created w/ the create account button, and another imported with the private key.
  • Actual Behavior
    Only the first, default account, was recovered from the seed. The other two were missing. Luckily one didn't had anything in it and for the other I still had the private key.
  • Browser Used
    Chrome - Version 60.0.3112.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)
  • Operating System Used
    macOS Sierra 10.12.6 (16G29)

this is non obvious and we should auto detect previous accounts at least by ether balance

Dear sir

My second account is missing. I have pictures from my second account. Can you help me please? my email: [email protected]

@Jamshd Assuming that this is after importing a seed phrase, try selecting 'Create Account' to repopulate the addresses in the order which it was created.

thanks a lot. I found it.

Thanks for this, I almost got a heart attack馃槴
