I just found out that even if you open 100 ETH addresses using Metamask, once your key is been compromised all the 100 ETH addresses are gone, but in case of Trust wallet each addresses has different recovery seed ..

If you don't know this before you should know now, please take note, some people are using Metamask multiple wallet addresses and they don't understand the risk involved.

How exactly does that works? I have metamask wallet and each time I import my account using private key it only import one account so I don't quite get how it's possible for someone to get access to all my account when they only have the key to just one of my account. It sounds unreal.

He means in Metamask you can do multi accounts in just one seed phrase/private key. It is literally equal to just 1 owner.

In Trust Wallet, you can also do this in just one application but it's like each has one owner because another account will mean creating a new seed phrase that you need to save again in your physical notes to avoid hacking.

Once your Metamask is compromised or your seed phrase/private key was hacked then every account under it can be accessed by the hacker and steal all the balance you have.

I know about that trust wallet own.
My concern is the metamask take a look at my account you can see "imported" there my question now is that will what is saying also affect account that was imported? Like if my private key should get stolen or what for whatever reason it got leaked will those imported account still be affected?
