The developers of the MetaMask crypto wallet announced the launch of the “social login” function, which allows you to use Google and Apple ID accounts for registration or authorization. Now users do not have to manually create a wallet: the system automatically generates a seed phrase after setting a password, and access can be restored through connected Web2 accounts.
According to the project team, the innovation is aimed at making digital asset management more convenient for a wide audience without compromising data protection. MetaMask emphasized that even the company itself does not have access to the information needed to fully restore the seed phrase. To unlock the data, only a combination of social accounts and a unique local password is required.
The developers also warned that the safety of the password is of key importance. If it is lost, it will be impossible to restore the data, which corresponds to the basic principles of decentralized solutions.
According to the technical description, the seed phrase created during registration via Google or Apple is stored online and protected by a combination of the user's login and password. The mechanism is based on the use of the cryptographic method "Threshold Oblivious Pseudo-Random Function", which works in conjunction with the distributed key management protocol. This technology provides an additional level of security when working with social login.
The function is designed to facilitate the path of beginners to the crypto space by removing the barrier associated with the mandatory manual saving and protection of the seed phrase. At the same time, advanced users can continue to use traditional methods of logging in and storing keys.
As a reminder, earlier in August, the MetaMask team already announced plans to launch its own stablecoin mUSD, which was another step in expanding the product ecosystem. The new Google and Apple ID login feature complements this strategy, emphasizing the company's desire to develop solutions aimed at the mass user.
Thus, MetaMask is betting on a combination of convenience and reliability: on the one hand, users get a more familiar and understandable way to log in, and on the other, the basic decentralized architecture is preserved, excluding complete control by any organization.
The update is already available and, according to the team's expectations, should attract even more new participants to the crypto wallet, who previously might have experienced difficulties when first getting acquainted with cryptocurrency tools.
