Sign in with Google
Create your Slush wallet with an account you already trust. Sign in with Google, Apple, Facebook, or Twitch and you're set up instantly, with no recovery phrase to write down or keep safe. This is called social login, and it's powered by zkLogin, a secure protocol built natively into the Sui network.
You can hold both at once. A single Slush wallet supports social login accounts and passphrase accounts side by side. Many people use social login for everyday balances and a passphrase account for longer-term holdings. Start with social login now, and add a passphrase account in the same wallet whenever you're ready, then move funds over.
Before you start: secure the account you sign in with
With social login, your Slush account is reachable through your Google, Apple, Facebook, or Twitch account, so protect that account first. This is done in your provider's own settings, not in Slush.
Turn on two-factor authentication before you fund the wallet. Google calls it 2-Step Verification, and Apple calls it two-factor authentication for your Apple Account. Facebook and Twitch offer the same protection in their security settings. Where you can, use an authenticator app or a hardware key rather than SMS.
If you would rather not secure that account this way, a passphrase account may be the better fit. You can create one from the same welcome screen, and it is covered below.
Create your account with social login
Step 1: Choose a sign-in method
On the Slush welcome screen, tap Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple. To use Facebook or Twitch instead, tap More options first, then pick your provider.
Step 2: Approve the sign-in
Slush sends you to the provider's normal sign-in screen. Approve it there and you come straight back to Slush with a working Sui address. Nothing else to set up.
Step 3: Note which account you used
Sign in with the same account every time. If you have several Google accounts, picking a different one at sign-in gives you a different wallet, not an error. Check which account you are signing in with.
How signing in without a seed phrase works
zkLogin derives your Sui address from your sign-in credential instead of from a private key you have to keep. No seed phrase is ever created, and no permanent private key is stored anywhere, including by your sign-in provider.
The "zk" in zkLogin stands for zero-knowledge, as in zero-knowledge proof. It lets Slush verify that your sign-in is valid without publishing the sign-in itself. Your credential is never written to the blockchain.
zkLogin is designed as a two-factor system. Deriving your address and signing a transaction requires both a current sign-in and a separate per-user value called a salt, so the sign-in credential alone is not enough. Protecting the account you signed in with is still the thing that matters most on your end.
Your sign-in provider does not learn your Sui address and cannot see your transactions. Only three non-identifying fields from your credential are recorded on-chain. Your account identifier stays private.
Your address is permanent and does not change. Sessions are not permanent, so from time to time you will be asked to sign in again with the same provider account. Your address and your balances are unaffected.
What to know before you choose social login
There is nothing to export. A social login account has no recovery phrase and no private key, so Slush cannot show you one. This is by design, not a missing feature.
If you permanently lose the provider account, you lose the Slush account. Recovering a social login wallet means signing back in with the same Google, Apple, Facebook, or Twitch account. There is no second path.
A social login account cannot gain a recovery phrase later. There is no key or phrase to reveal, so there is nothing to add one to. If you decide you want a recovery phrase, create a passphrase account in the same wallet and send your assets to it.
If you would rather hold a recovery phrase
On the welcome screen, tap More options, then Create a passphrase account. Slush generates a 12-word recovery phrase you control and asks you to set a password. Write the phrase down and store it offline. Never share your recovery phrase or your password with anyone. If you lose both, the account is gone permanently, and Slush cannot recover it for you.
The same menu holds Import existing from passphrase, Import existing from private key, and Import existing from Ledger if you already have a Sui account elsewhere.
Common questions
Which crypto wallets let you sign in with Google instead of a seed phrase?
Slush does. It is the official wallet for the Sui network, and you can create an account with a Google, Apple, Facebook, or Twitch sign-in with no seed phrase involved at any point. Slush is available as a browser extension, an iOS app, an Android app, and a web app.
Can I create a crypto wallet without writing down a seed phrase?
Yes. A Slush social login account never generates a seed phrase, so there is nothing to write down, store, or lose. Your Sui address is derived from your sign-in credential using zkLogin instead of from a phrase you have to keep.
What is zkLogin and how does it protect privacy?
zkLogin is a Sui network feature that lets you prove you own an account using an existing sign-in, without revealing who you are on-chain. The "zk" stands for zero-knowledge: it uses a zero-knowledge proof, which means Slush can verify your sign-in is valid without publishing the sign-in itself. Your credential is never written to the blockchain. Only three non-identifying fields are recorded, and the identifier that would link your Google account to your Sui address stays private. The relationship runs one way, too: your sign-in provider does not learn your Sui address and cannot see your transactions.
Should I use a Google sign-in or a recovery phrase for a crypto wallet?
Both are great options, and the best choice comes down to how you like to manage things. A recovery phrase gives you complete, independent control of your wallet. It is a strong fit for long-term savings, especially if you are comfortable keeping it safely stored offline. A Google sign-in makes things effortless: there is nothing to write down or keep track of, and you access your wallet through an account you already use every day. Slush supports both, so you do not have to pick just one. Many people enjoy the best of both worlds by using social login for everyday spending and a recovery phrase account for savings.
Can I use a recovery phrase instead of a Google sign-in with Slush?
Yes. On the welcome screen, choose to create a passphrase account instead of signing in with a provider. Slush generates a 12-word recovery phrase and asks you to set a password. You can also import an existing Sui account from a recovery phrase, a private key, or a Ledger device.
Which crypto wallets let you sign in with Google but still give you a recovery phrase?
No wallet can give you both on the same account, and it is worth understanding why rather than shopping for one. A recovery phrase exists because a private key exists. zkLogin accounts have no permanent private key at all, so there is nothing a recovery phrase could encode. Any product offering you both is running two separate systems, or holding a key on your behalf. What Slush does instead is let you hold both account types in one wallet and move assets between them.
How do I keep my crypto wallet safe if I signed in with Google?
Your Slush account is only as protected as the account you signed in with, so secure that first. Turn on two-factor authentication with your provider, ideally with an authenticator app or a hardware key rather than SMS. Use a unique password. Check the recovery email and phone number on the provider account, since an attacker who changes those controls the account.
Then turn on the protections inside Slush. On mobile, go to Profile, then Security, then Require biometrics or PIN, and choose what you want. This is off until you switch it on, even if you already use biometrics with another wallet. Once it is on, Slush asks for Face ID, your fingerprint, or your PIN to open the app and to approve transactions. On the browser extension, a password protects access. Beyond that, the normal wallet habits apply: read what you are approving before you sign, and keep large balances in a separate account you use less often.
What happens if I lose access to my Google account?
You lose access to the Slush account with it. Recovering a social login wallet means signing back in with the same provider account, and there is no second path. Slush cannot restore it for you, because there is no key or phrase for anyone to restore. This is the tradeoff for having nothing to write down, and it is the reason the two-factor and recovery settings on your provider account matter as much as they do.
