BiFrost is the native crypto wallet for Songbird, but it is possible to import your Bifrost Wallet into a MetaMask wallet.
1. Open your Bifrost Wallet and select the 'Settings'.
2. In 'Settings', select 'Recovery Phrase'.
3. You will be directed to a prompt page (which explains what a 'Recovery Phrase' is) and select 'Continue'.
4. You will then be directed to your Bifrost wallet's 'Recovery Phrase' (and an important notice about keeping your 'Recovery Phrase' safe).
(IMPORTANT NOTE: It is safer to write your 'Recovery Phrase' on paper. You should NEVER share your 'Recovery Phrase' with anyone as it will give them access to your crypto wallet.)
5. Go to the official MetaMask website at https://metamask.io/. When on the MetaMask site, click the 'Download' button.
6. On the next page, click the 'Install MetaMask' button.
7. Then, click the 'Add to' button.
(In the example below, Brave Browser is being used, but you can use other Browsers, such as Chrome)
8. A pop-up should appear for you to add MetaMask, click the 'Add extension' button.

12. You will then be taken to page which allows you to import the 'Recovery Phrase' from your Bifrost wallet. Carefully enter the 'Recovery Phrase' (with spaces between each word), create a password (which you should keep safe) and agree to the MetaMask 'Terms of Use' (you should always read Terms).
13. Once you have completed the above step, click the 'Import' button.
14. You will then be told you have completed importing your wallet. Click the 'All Done' button.
