Metamask issue: eth_requestAccounts' returns an array containing a single account

As a Metamask user, you are probably familiar with theeth_requestAccounts’ method, which allows users to select the accounts they want to allow access to in the MetaMask interface. However, sometimes this method returns an array containing a single account instead of multiple accounts.

What happens?

This issue can be caused by several reasons, including:

• Multiple requests: If you make multiple requests with the eth_requestAccounts attribute in quick succession, it is possible that the API is confused and returns only a single account.

• Account selection limitations: The eth_requestAccounts method may not support selecting multiple accounts at the same time, which can result in an array containing a single account.

Troubleshooting Steps

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

• Check MetaMask API documentation: Make sure you are using the correct eth_requestAccounts' endpoints and parameters for your use case.

const ethereum = window['ethereum'];
const requestPermissions = ethereum.request({
method: 'eth_requestAccounts',
parameters: [
{
account: '0x...', // Replace with an account of your choice
allowNonstandardSigners: true,
includePrivateKeys: false, // Optional, set to true if you need to use private keys
includeExcludedAccounts: true, // Optional, set to true if you want to select accounts to exclude from the current account
}
]
});
if (requestPermissions.length > 1) {
console.log('Multiple accounts selected:', requestPermissions[0].account);
} else {
console.log('Only one account selected:', requestPermissions[0].account);
}

If you are still having issues with eth_requestAccounts’ returning an array containing a single account, try checking your MetaMask settings and API documentation. By following these instructions, you should be able to resolve this issue and select multiple accounts using the eth_requestAccounts method.
