Social login (Magic Keys) - Frequently Asked Questions

Last updated on Jul 16, 2026

⚠️ Important: social login does NOT recover an existing wallet. If your wallet was never linked to your Apple/Google account, signing in with "Continue with Apple/Google" creates a brand-new, empty wallet. Your old balance is not lost — it stays on your original wallet, which you can open with the link in your most recent "SWEAT wallet backup code" email, with your 12-word secret phrase, or with a social login you previously linked.

1. What is Magic Keys?

Magic Keys is a feature that allows you to create a Sweat Wallet account — or log in to one — using social sign-in providers (Apple, Google).

2. Who can use Magic Keys?

Everyone. New users can create a wallet with it, and existing users can add Apple or Google sign-in to their current wallet in Profile → Security. Adding it is strongly recommended: it gives you a second way back into your wallet if you ever lose the activation email or seed phrase.

3. How do I create an account using Magic Keys?

When signing up for a new account, choose the option to sign in with a social provider (e.g., Apple, Google). Follow the prompts to complete the account creation process.

4. I'm an existing user. How do I add social login to my wallet?

Open Sweat Wallet → Profile → Security and add Apple or Google as a login method. After that, "Continue with Apple/Google" on any device opens your existing wallet, not a new one.

5. I created my account with Magic Keys. Why am I not earning $SWEAT?

After creating an account with Magic Keys, you need to take an additional step to start earning $SWEAT. You must connect your wallet to your Sweatcoin account: go to the wallet's homepage, find the Earn component, and use the button to connect your wallet to your Sweatcoin account.

6. Can I connect my Magic Keys wallet to any Sweatcoin account?

No, you can only connect your wallet to a Sweatcoin account that hasn't opted into crypto yet.

7. I forgot how I created my account. How do I log in?

Always use the same method you used to create your account (or a method you later added in Profile → Security). If you used Magic Keys (social sign-in), continue to use that method to log in. If you've lost access to your wallet entirely (e.g. lost your secret phrase), you can reset your wallet and connect a new one directly from the app — see How do I reset my Sweat Wallet? for step-by-step instructions.

8. What if I have trouble connecting my Magic Keys wallet to my Sweatcoin account?

Check that your Sweatcoin account doesn't already have a wallet associated with it. If the problem persists, contact our support team for assistance.

9. What should I do if I can't access the social account I used for Magic Keys?

If you added another login method (activation email, seed phrase, or a second social provider), use that to get in — then add a new social login in Profile → Security. If you have no other method, you can create a new wallet and reconnect it to your Sweatcoin account directly from the app. See How do I reset my Sweat Wallet? for details.

10. I received an email with my activation, what now?

Just double check your email inbox (the email address which is linked to your Sweatcoin account) for the following subject line:

"Important: SWEAT wallet backup code ❗Do not delete or share ❗"
