Passkeys: A Secure and User-Friendly Login Method
By leveraging passkey technology, smart wallet enables a simple and secure passwordless login method. Passkeys use biometric authentication (fingerprint, FaceID, etc.) and are rapidly replacing passwords as a more secure and user-friendly option. They utilize end-to-end encryption and can be stored on iCloud, Google Drive, 1Password, or hardware devices like YubiKey, allowing users to access their wallet seamlessly across devices without the burden of managing and importing recovery phrases.
Magic Spend: Connecting Coinbase and the Onchain Economy
With smart wallet’s functionality, users can easily connect their Coinbase account to their smart wallet, empowering them to spend funds directly onchain using their existing Coinbase balance, bypassing the need for manual transfers or onramp processes. This innovative feature is a game-changer for those new to the onchain economy, providing a secure and user-friendly way to leverage their funds on Coinbase across a wide range of applications. Currently supporting ETH, Magic Spend’s upcoming support for debit cards and other payment methods will further enhance the user experience for new onchain adopters and expand accessibility to those who may not yet have a Coinbase account.
