Wallet Security Enters a New Era — Goodbye to the Mnemonic Phrase Era

Cryptocurrency management is undergoing a technological upgrade. Traditional mnemonic phrase schemes are gradually being phased out, replaced by a passkey-based, mnemonic-free security architecture.

What does this mean? Users no longer need to manually write down long strings of words or save risky recovery phrases via screenshots. The passkey scheme completely liberates private key management from cumbersome manual records — offering stronger security and a more modern user experience.

This is not just an iteration of technical details but a redefinition of the wallet security paradigm. As more Web3 applications adopt this approach, the era of mnemonic phrases is coming to an end.

Finally, someone is here to rescue my notebook full of mnemonic phrases. I'm really fed up with it. Passkey is indeed quite impressive this time; no more worries about screenshots being stolen. I'm a bit skeptical; let's see when the big online launch happens. Another "revolutionary update." Is this one real or not? I just want to know when passkey will truly become mainstream. It's still niche for now.

It should have been eliminated long ago. Every time I write down the mnemonic phrase by hand, I'm afraid I might make a mistake with a word. Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, someone is going to get rid of those 12 words. I've been so annoyed every time I have to find a piece of paper and copy them again.

Finally! No more worries about screenshots of seed phrases being stolen. Data shows that 72% of wallet attacks originate from this inefficient operation. The security improvement with the passkey solution is indeed significant.

According to the white paper, the governance implications of this Passkey architecture are actually underestimated — the key question is: who will maintain the decentralization of this key system?

It should have been eliminated long ago. Memorizing those 12 entries was painful enough, and now I have to learn new things? Is Passkey really reliable? Don't create new pitfalls again.
