Scope: MetaMask dapp connections
Disconnecting removes a site's connection to the wallet through its permission controls. MetaMask's help documentation explicitly distinguishes this from revoking token approvals. An allowance already recorded on chain can remain usable by the spender after the browser connection is removed.
Review two separate things
First inspect the wallet's connected-site permissions and remove connections you no longer need. Then review relevant token allowances on the correct network using an independently verified approval tool. Confirm the spender and token before signing a revocation, and check that the transaction has actually confirmed. Menu names can change between wallet versions, so use the current official instructions.
Avoid a false all-clear
Public blockchain activity remains public after a site is disconnected. Disconnecting is also not a cure for a stolen recovery phrase or private key. Keep the action you took precise when recording an incident: site disconnected, allowance revoked and secret replaced are different events with different effects. If a suspicious page promises to perform all of them with one unexplained signature, stop. A tidy list of connected sites alone does not establish that the account has no remaining on-chain permissions.
