MetaMask, the leading self-custodial crypto wallet, [rolled out](https://metamask.io/news/introducing-metamask-social-login) a new "Social login" feature Tuesday that allows users to create and manage wallets using their existing Google or Apple accounts.

### What’s the Scoop?
- **Simplified Onboarding:** Instead of managing a 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP) up front, users can now sign in with a social account and create a password. MetaMask generates the SRP in the background and ties it to the account credentials.
- **Still Self-Custodial:** MetaMask [emphasized](https://metamask.io/news/introducing-metamask-social-login) that it cannot access user wallets or passwords. Recovery is only possible through the user’s social login and password.
- **Security Note:** If users lose their password and access to their login provider, the wallet cannot be recovered.
