TREE NEWS update: Keplr Wallet has suspended Google and Apple sign-in options after receiving reports of unauthorized transactions in some wallet accounts created through those login methods. The wallet provider said it has notified Web3Auth and both teams are jointly investigating. Accounts created via mnemonic or hardware wallet are not affected, Keplr said, advising potentially affected users not to deposit new funds or re-import accounts during the probe.
Keplr Wallet Pauses Google and Apple Logins After Unauthorized Transactions
The incident puts a spotlight on the trade-off behind social and email-based onboarding: convenience routed through a third-party identity layer, here Web3Auth, becomes a shared dependency whose failure modes sit outside the wallet's own key management. That the exposure appears confined to Google and Apple sign-in accounts, while mnemonic and hardware wallets are unaffected, draws a clear line between custodial-adjacent recovery flows and self-managed keys. Whether the root cause traces to the identity provider or Keplr itself is the open question, and the scope of affected accounts will shape how much scrutiny these login rails face.
