Passkey Wallet

A crypto wallet that uses device biometrics (Face ID, fingerprint) or hardware security keys for authentication instead of seed phrases.

Definition

A crypto wallet that uses device biometrics (Face ID, fingerprint) or hardware security keys for authentication instead of seed phrases. Passkeys are backed by the device's secure enclave, making them phishing-resistant and much easier to use than traditional crypto wallets.
