{% tab title="Remove Accounts" %}
You can remove an account from your Talisman wallet at any time, except the first account you created when you set up your wallet: the root account.&#x20;

This option is available in the extension view and in the expanded view mode with just a few easy steps.

**Extension view guide**

In the Extension view, simply open up the extension and select the account you want to remove by selecting it from the list of accounts.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Hide Balances" %}
You can hide your balances to deny curious eyes the amounts you stored in your Talisman wallet. This feature is also handy when taking pictures or videos of your wallet without exposing your funds to everyone. While hidden, you can view balances individually by clicking the blurred line you would like to reveal.&#x20;

**Extension view guide**

In the extension view mode simply open up the list of your accounts and hover your mouse over your Total Portfolio balance at the top. A slashed eye icon will appear. Click this to hide your balances. Click the eye icon again to reveal them.

<figure><img src="/files/Peb8NuuK9XkE5iZHuU9F" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Expanded view guide**

Select `Settings` in the main menu and enable the `Hide Balances` slider as shown in the picture below. To stop hiding the balances simply click the slider again.

NOTE: Hiding balances in the extension view will also hide them in the expanded view!&#x20;
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="MetaMask dApp Compatibility" %}
Talisman is a fully-featured Ethereum wallet, and can be used to replace MetaMask entirely, however we know that many people want to continue using MetaMask alongside Talisman. For this reason, Talisman has been designed to prioritise MetaMask when connecting to dapps via the legacy `window.ethereum` method. Most dapps still use this method, although many are now switching to the newer `EIP-6963` method.&#x20;

If you use both Talisman and MetaMask in your browser, it's expected that MetaMask should popup when a dapp makes a request to connect an account or sign a transaction.&#x20;

If you'd prefer to use Talisman only, please disable MetaMask in your browser, to prevent it from injecting and responding to requests from the page.

If you'd prefer to continue to use MetaMask, but you find that Talisman is popping up instead, the problem is nearly always that the Ethereum connection is being interfered with by other wallet extensions installed in the browser. Most commonly, Phantom wallet causes this problem, however other Ethereum wallets may do so. The Phantom team have been notified of this issue. We recommend to disable or uninstall other Ethereum wallets when using Talisman.
