Upgrade your Torus Wallet with OpenLogin

Users would still be able to access their old wallets, as well as their newly created OpenLogin wallets within the same account. However, when interacting with dapps, users would need a few additional steps to ensure that they are using their intended wallet to interact with the dapps that they are accessing.

With the OpenLogin upgrade, previous tKey wallets will be migrated to OpenLogin wallets. Old tKey shares/factors stored on devices will be upgraded to now be secured behind the device’s native biometric token with OpenLogin. Users can make the upgrade by following the steps shown within the guide modal.

If the user has biometric scanners installed on their device, they would be able to register their device factor with their biometric authentication, which would give them access to Fast Login.

Once Fast Login has been set up, subsequent logins into Torus Wallet would just require a Touch/FaceID scan from the user to gain access to their wallets.

With OpenLogin, users now have access to both their OpenLogin wallet as well as their basic Torus Wallet tied to their method of authentication (Google, Facebook, Discord, Passwordless etc.). They have a choice of selecting which wallet they intend to use to interact with dapps.

To select the wallet that you wish to interact with dapps:

The selected Default wallet would be the wallet that would be used to interact with dapps when logging in to the same account, from here onwards, you would be able to log into dapps with your Torus Wallet through OpenLogin or your preferred mode of authentication.

The underlying technology securing the user’s keys remains unchanged and is still powered by the Torus Key Infrastructure.

Like 2FA systems, as long as the user has access to 2 out of 3 of their factors, they will be able to retrieve their private key and gain access to the wallet.

1. User Device Factor: Implementation is device and system-specific. With OpenLogin, the factor is secured via biometrics within the device’s secure enclave.

3. Recovery Factor: This is based on user input (e.g., password, security. questions, hardware device, etc.).

As long as the user has any 2 of their factors, they will gain access to their wallet.
