🔐 Authentication with Wellspring: How We Keep Your Wallet Secure
At Wellspring, we believe you should have complete control over your savings—without compromising on security. That’s why every Wellspring account uses state-of-the-art authentication powered by Turnkey’s passkey technology, giving you a seamless, passwordless experience that keeps your self-custodial wallet safe.
Here’s how Wellspring protects your wallet and ensures that only you can access your funds:
Using Turnkey’s advanced wallet infrastructure, Wellspring brings you modern, passwordless security designed for maximum protection and ease of use:
🟢 Passkey-Based Identity
When you create your Wellspring wallet, we generate a unique cryptographic key pair directly on your device. Your private key never leaves your secure enclave, while your public key allows Wellspring to recognize you and securely link your wallet to your account.
🟢 Secure Enclave Storage
Your private key is locked inside your device’s secure enclave—a tamper-resistant chip completely isolated from your main operating system. Think of it as a personal vault built into your phone or laptop, designed to resist even sophisticated attacks.
🟢 Biometric Verification
Every time you sign in, make a transaction, or approve a withdrawal on Wellspring, your device prompts you for biometric confirmation (like Face ID or fingerprint). This ensures that only you can authorize any action with your wallet.
🟢 WebAuthn & FIDO2 Standards
Wellspring’s authentication system uses industry-leading open standards like WebAuthn and FIDO2—the same protocols trusted by major tech companies and financial institutions to secure billions of devices around the world.
🟢 No Passwords, No Phishing
