It’s time we simplified cross-platform Web3 logins. Say goodbye to frustrating onboarding, endless reauthorizations, and missed opportunities. Introducing Identity Connect: Aptos Labs’ new solution for cross-platform Web3 logins. Identity Connect is redefining the way you experience Web3, offering a seamless journey through Aptos. Easily connect your Web3 wallet to apps across all of your devices and platforms, effortlessly accessing the Aptos ecosystem.

How Identity Connect Works

Many Web3 developers avoid centralized identity management, prioritizing user empowerment through decentralized platforms like self-custodial wallets. However, this focus poses challenges for seamless identity integration across applications. To address this, Aptos Labs created Identity Connect as a platform and protocol to securely coordinate identity services and applications while still allowing for self-custodial ownership over wallets.

Easy Access
With a single login, Identity Connect grants instant access to your apps. Sign up, scan your QR code, and you’re in — revolutionizing Web3 with seamless, secure, user-friendly access. Manage all of your wallet connections with OAuth and social login through Gmail, Twitter, or Facebook.

Convenience with Web3 Privacy

Identity Connect prioritizes security by using OAuth integration and QR code pairings for end-to-end encryption. Leveraging a stateful service as a relay between applications and wallets ensures uninterrupted communication, while accommodating both anonymous and connected pairings, allowing flexibility in user privacy.

Once You’re in, You’re in

No more hassle with reauthorizations. With Identity Connect, once you’re authenticated, you’re in for good. Whether you’re deep in a Web3 game or exploring web3, you can rely on that initial QR code scan to authorize all of your actions, at every step.

Built for Universal Access
Identity Connect is broadening ways to access Aptos beyond browsers, to mobile devices, desktop apps, and even Safari and Linux.
