# Social Login FAQ {% hint style="info" %} For more information view: {% endhint %} ### 🔍 General Overview **1. What is PancakeSwap’s social login and why should I use it?** Social login lets you access PancakeSwap using your **Google**, **X (Twitter)**, **Discord**, or **Telegram** account — no wallet extension or seed phrase needed. A self-custodial wallet is created behind the scenes, so you can try DeFi instantly, even with small amounts. This lowers the barrier to entry, especially in time-sensitive moments. **2. What chains does social login support?** Your social login wallet works across all chains currently supported by PancakeSwap: * **BNB Chain** * **Ethereum** * **Base** * **Arbitrum** * **Linea** * **opBNB** All wallets are **EVM-compatible** and can be used across these networks natively through PancakeSwap. If you’d like to see support for other chains (including non-EVM), let us know! **3. Where can I use the social login wallet?** You can use it directly in any desktop or mobile **browser** through the PancakeSwap web app. It is **not compatible** with external wallet apps or dApp browsers. ### 🛠️ Wallet Setup & Usage **4. How is the wallet created and secured?** Your wallet is created automatically upon login and secured using a **2-of-2 key share system**. Both shares are required to reconstruct the key and generate a signature. For more information on share encryption view: * * **5. How many wallets can I create?** You get **one wallet per social account per dApp**. For example, if you use your Google login on another app that also uses Privy, it will create a separate wallet. ### 🔐 Security & Privacy **6. Can someone access my wallet if they steal my device?** No. Even if someone gains access to your device, they would still need both your **social login** and (if set) your **recovery password**. **7. What data is stored by PancakeSwap or Privy?** * PancakeSwap **does not store** any wallet-related key shares. * Privy stores the **encrypted Auth Share and Recovery Share (if recovery flow is not set)**. > If you haven’t completed the recovery setup, your Recovery Share remains stored with Privy by default.

If it's a new device, you'll go through the recovery process using your recovery password (if set up). **9. What happens if I switch devices?** You’ll be asked to re-login with your social account and go through the recovery flow (password setup). If you haven’t set up a recovery password, social account login is sufficient. **10. What if I lose access to both my social login and recovery method?** If you lose access to both your social account and your recovery method, **your wallet cannot be recovered**. There’s no seed phrase fallback, and private key export is not currently supported. > ⚠️ Remember: Exporting your private key, if enabled in the future, would grant full control of your wallet to anyone who has it — treat it with extreme caution. **11. How long do active sessions last?** Sessions last for 30 **days**. After that, you’ll be prompted to **log in again** and (if needed) re-enter your recovery credentials. During an active session, you can transact without needing to manually approve each action. ### ⚙️ Compatibility & Limitations **12. Can I export or import wallets?** * **Export**: Not supported by default, for security reasons. This may change in future updates. * **Import**: Not supported. You cannot import external wallets like MetaMask or Phantom. **13. Can I connect this wallet to other dApps using WalletConnect?** Not at this time. The embedded wallet is **limited to PancakeSwap only**. If you're interested in using it more broadly, let us know — future expansions are possible. ### 🚀 Advanced Features **14. Does the social login wallet support Account Abstraction?** Yes. It supports **Account Abstraction features** such as transaction batching and **gas sponsorship** through integrations like Biconomy etc. **15. How are signless transactions enabled?** * After login, your session is active for up to 30 **days**. During this time, PancakeSwap can request Privy to sign transactions on your behalf using your session credentials. * You won’t see a wallet popup for each action — everything is handled in the background. After 30 days, you’ll need to re-login to continue using this signless experience.
