MetaMask, the self-custodial crypto wallet by Consensys, now lets users create and manage their wallets using their Google or Apple accounts.
This new "Social login" feature simplifies the process by creating a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP) in the background. Users can simply sign in with their social account and a password, eliminating the need to manually handle the SRP right away.
MetaMask emphasizes that this feature maintains the self-custodial nature of the wallet. No single entity, including MetaMask, can access the SRP. The user's password serves as a crucial, independent component for wallet recovery. However, the company warns that a lost password means the wallet cannot be recovered.
