The evolution of web3 account recovery is marking a significant shift from traditional seed phrases to more user-friendly solutions.
Key improvements with smart accounts:
- Built-in recovery mechanisms
- Integration with passkeys
- More intuitive user experience
This represents a departure from the unforgiving nature of traditional crypto wallets, where losing a seed phrase meant permanent loss of assets. Smart accounts are bringing web3 security closer to familiar web2 password recovery experiences, while maintaining decentralization principles.
Recovery options now include social recovery, guardian systems, and hardware-based authentication.
Web2: “Forgot password?” Web3: “Forgot seed phrase?” Smart accounts: ✅ Recovery ✅ Passkeys ✅ Sanity
