Error resolution manual RPC Metask Error: User has not authorized the requested account and/or method
As a METASK user, it is important to understand how to solve the mistakes of interacting with the Ethereum blockchain. A widespread problem is “RPC Error” when trying to encrypt sensitive data using METASK. In this article, we will take steps to solve this error.
RPC error understanding
When the user tries to take action on the Ethereum network using the Metask or DAP (decentralized application) web interface, they are asked to authorize the requested account and method. If the user denies permission, the demand fails, resulting in a “RPC error”.
Request code passage
Let’s check your code fragment:
`JavaScript
Either encryption of theaplickey;
Wait for the window.ethereum.request ({
Method: "Eth_GegenCryptypulakaka",
Parami: [Account1], // You must hand over the account address here
});
In this example, "Account1 is an Ethereum account address. The error occurs because you do not provide a valid account to which Metask will request authorization.
RPC error resolution
To solve the problem, follow these steps:
1. Check Metask Settings
Make sure your Metask account is set as a default wallet and activated "allows access to the wallet".
2. Check the Ethereum network connection
Make sure you are connected to a compatible Ethereum network (for example, Mainnet, Rinkby).
3. Update Web3.You Library
If you are using an outdated Web3.You Library version, update it to the latest stable version using NPM or Fire:
Bash
NPM install Web3@the latest
or
Bash
yarn add web3@later
1. Check your account permissions
Make sure the Ethereum network has enough permission level:
- Active - You are currently authenticated and authorized.
- Admin
- Metask is an administrative privileges, allowing it to take action without user interaction.
If you have any problems after the Web3 Library Update and check the metamark settings, try the following:
5. Check the error message
Check the console output to obtain all essential information that could indicate the source of the error:
JSON
{
"Code": 100000001,
"Status": 0,
"Data": {
"Method": "Eth_GegenCrypypitypelykeykey",
"Params": [
"0x ... your_account_address ..."
] ,,,
"Designshash": "",
"Gasprice": "",
"Nonce": ""
},
"Record": {
"Address": "0x ... Accus_address ...",
"Key": "0x ... key ..."
}
}
Determine the specific error code (eg 100000001) and check that this applies to your account or method.
Additional troubleshooting actions
If you have any problems try the following:
- Check that Metask is properly configured in your wallet supplier settings.
- Make sure the network is compatible with your METASK version (eg Web3.Js V1.7.4).
- If you are using a browser extension, restart it and refresh the page after web3.js update update
When doing these steps, when trying to encrypt sensitive data using METASK, you should be able to solve the “RPC error”.
