Social recovery

What crypto means by it

Getting back into a wallet using trusted contacts or logins rather than a written phrase. It removes the single worst failure in crypto, which is losing one piece of paper.

What you already know this as

Account recovery through security questions, a trusted contact and two-factor codes.

In Kite: You can restore access with Google or Apple sign-in, so losing a phone does not mean losing your balance.
