Needed to recover wallet after clicking around in website
After I posted this discussion https://community.arcblock.io/discussions/eb647016-ab15-41dd-b2b2-8b5b3af34224, I did some clicking around in the Blocklet Store at https://store.blocklet.dev and when I wanted to launch the NFT Store. But then I wanted to open the DID Wallet Chrome extension (using version 4.11.2 in a Mac Brave browser) in a different tab but I got the buttons "Create wallet" and "Restore wallet" (or something). I couldn't log in anymore, so I restored my wallet with my pass phrase.
Very weird.

Since DID Wallet extension's decentralized nature (most crypto wallets act this way), if you want to use it in different browsers, you have to setup the wallet extension separately, they can share the same passphrase.
If you encounter "Create" or "Restore" when try to use wallet, it's highly likely that your wallet have not been setup in the browser.
If you already finished setup the of the wallet, then that maybe a bug.
By the way, above rule applies when you try to use DID Wallet in browsers in incognito mode, unless you enabled DID Wallet for incognito mode.
Was in the same browser without incognito. I literally switched back to another tab that I already opened and when I wanted to check my ABT balance (by clicking on the wallet extension icon at the top right) I wasn't logged in anymore and I could only choose from "Create wallet" or "Recover wallet". No "Unlock wallet" option.
This shouldn't have happened
So to be clear. I had use the recovery phrase for recovering the wallet, had to fill in a new username and upload a new avatar
(I reused the name and avatar that I was already using because I didn't want to change anything)
z1VV21NqNWkiadznN32ALkos5dQqQwnCMty did anyone take the time to look into this weird behaviour?
Have you had any other operations that caused this problem? For example, empty the browser data, all the data is currently data you, all on your computer, if the data is lost, it may be caused by some other operation.
By the way, https://community.arcblock.io/discussions/eb647016-ab15-41dd-b2b2-8b5b3af34224 is deleted don't you? I can't visit this link to see a more detailed description
Yeah, I deleted it. If I remember, it was a duplicate ticket (didn't know that at moment of posting).
I didn't do anything weird getting the issue.
Will try to reproduce it.
