Even they use same BIP and seed word list, you should never use two different wallet tools / softwares to import and use a same wallet seed phrase or private key.

Because they are built by different teams and one team can be good and another can be bad. By using one private key, one wallet seed phrase around different tools, you have risk to lose your coins anytime if one of those tools are compromised or have back doors.

Don't let your laziness makes you poor or bankrupted.
Thanks for the advice but I know what I'm doing, no worries. It concerns a hot wallet (metamask) while my funds or safe and sound on a hardware wallet. It's because I try out alot of new things and this time I forget to write down the web3 site I connected to, although I think it was generative (dot) xyz, it still returns a wrong btc address.
What I'm looking for is a tool that allows me to change the derivation path from or a BTC private key or a seed phrase. The goal is to find the correct taproot address. Iancoleman's tool (offline) helped me on the way and Sparrow wallet too but Sparrow doesn't allow me to change a derivation path I noticed.
