Embedded Wallet MFA
Privy enables users to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) for their embedded wallet. MFA helps secure the embedded wallet by requiring additional verification of a user's identity when the wallet is used.
Once a user enrolls in wallet MFA, any action that requires use of the embedded wallet's private key will require the user to complete MFA verification. This includes signing messages, sending transactions, exporting the embedded wallet, and recovering the embedded wallet for use on new devices.
Privy currently supports two methods of wallet MFA:
- SMS, where users verify with a 6-digit MFA code sent to their phone number
- Time-based one-time password (TOTP), where users verify with a 6-digit MFA code from an authentication app, like Authy or Google Authenticator
- Passkeys, where users verify with a previously registered passkey, generally through biometric authentication on their device
