Mysten Labs announces integration of PassKeys, in the future Sui will open the use of Face ID and fingerprint to approve smart contracts
The user experience on the Sui public chain has recently received another major upgrade, with Mysten Labs co-founder Kostas announcing that the Sui chain will introduce PassKeys. This means users can sign contracts using methods such as Face ID or fingerprint; however, the current phase is for use on the developer network, with hopes that this Web2-like user experience will be brought to a wider audience in the future.
Mysten Labs integrates Face ID and fingerprint authentication
Kostas stated that the PassKeys feature has been added to the Sui Network SDK, allowing users on the developer network to log in to Sui wallets and sign contracts using Face ID, fingerprint, QR Code, and other methods.
From the case of Moonshot, it can be observed that many in the industry do not pay much attention to small user experience improvements, which can actually greatly lower the threshold for outsiders to enter the space. Therefore, such integration that approaches Web2 experience can provide Sui with more opportunities to break boundaries.
Major upgrade for Sui user experience! Approving smart contracts is like using Apple Pay
Specifically, users generate a QR Code on the wallet on their computer and then scan it with a mobile device to bind Face ID or fingerprint on the mobile device. Once binding is successful, the mobile device can use Face ID or fingerprint to approve the execution of smart contracts, just like using APPLE PAY.
Mysten Labs is committed to improving user experience, having previously launched zkLogin, which allows registration using email. The integration of Pass Keys authentication significantly lowers the barriers to use. It is understood that the functionality of PassKeys will also extend to applications such as multi-signature wallets.
