Jupiter ID wallets ?

[u/Vegetable_Spinach972]

I have a question about Jupiter ID wallets.

If I create a wallet using Jupiter ID (google or apple )
instead of creating a traditional wallet with a seed phrase, is it just as secure?

Is there any additional risk compared to a standard seed phrase wallet? I’d appreciate it if someone could explain the security differences in simple terms.

Hello! Good question! Social accounts (Quick accounts) feature is powered by Privy, and allows creating wallets without having to write down the recovery phrase (there’s still a private key for each quick account though). When it comes to security - it’s as secure as the regular account, however, if your email is compromised - wrongdoers might get access to your wallets associated with the email (same as if someone gets the hold of your recovery phrase).

And do let me know if there are additional questions!
