The MetaMask wallet has simplified crypto for its users, integrating a social login feature that connects their Google and Apple accounts to create, backup, or restore a wallet. Developers have capitalised on the ubiquity of Apple and Google accounts that easily facilitate digital activities, authentication for apps, and the wallet ecosystem. Social login eliminates the cumbersome management of using a 12 word Secret Recovery Phrase for non-custodial wallets. There is a better alternative to creating and managing wallets in two easy steps that asks users to sign in with their Apple or Google ID and create a unique, strong password.
The recovery phase is then generated and can be recovered using the social account, adding layers of security in the set-up of the wallet. Traditional SRPs provide more control and security over digital assets but can be cumbersome. The secure management of Social Login and password is essential, otherwise the wallet can not be retrieved.
