      <Step title="Create wallets with a user owner">
        To ensure the wallet can only be controlled by the user, create the wallet with a user
        owner. If you use one of Privy's client-side SDKs to create wallets, wallets are created
        with a user owner by default.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Request a signature over your transaction request">
        [Construct your transaction request](/controls/authorization-keys/using-owners/sign) and use
        Privy's [client-side SDKs'
        methods](/controls/authorization-keys/using-owners/sign#react%2C-expo) to have the user sign
        the transaction request.

      <Step title="Execute the transaction request from your server">
        Send your user's authorization signature from your client to your server, and [send your

        Next, given a user's access token from your authentication provider, [request a user
        key](/controls/authorization-keys/keys/create/user/request) from Privy's API. You will use
        this key to sign transaction requests to Privy's aPI.

      <Step title="Execute the transaction request from your server">
