4. Enter a new name and click "Save" to apply the changes.

3. Security Settings

MetaMask offers several security features to protect your account:

• Locking Your Account: You can lock your MetaMask account by clicking on the account icon and selecting "Lock." This will require you to enter your password to unlock it again.

5. Importing and Exporting Accounts

You can import existing accounts or export your current account:

• Importing an Account: To import an account, go to "Settings," then "Advanced," and click on "Import Account." You will need the private key or JSON file of the account you wish to import.
• Exporting an Account: To export your account, go to "Settings," then "Advanced," and click on "Export Private Key." Be cautious with this information, as it grants access to your account.

6. Sample Code for Managing Accounts Programmatically (Optional)

If you are a developer and want to manage accounts programmatically using JavaScript, you can use the following sample code snippet to request account access and check the connected accounts:

async function manageAccounts() {
    if (typeof window.ethereum !== 'undefined') {
        try {
            // Request account access
            const accounts = await window.ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' });
            console.log('Connected accounts:', accounts);

            // Get the balance of the first account
            const balance = await window.ethereum.request({
                method: 'eth_getBalance',
                params: [accounts[0], 'latest']
            });
            console.log('Balance:', balance);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Error accessing accounts:', error);
        }
    } else {
        console.error('MetaMask is not installed');
    }
}

// Call the function to manage accounts
manageAccounts();
