Prerequisite: This article assumes a basic knowledge of Ethereum, web3, and Node.

Since the inception of Ethereum DApps, Metamask has been the primary tool used to connect users. While it is still the most popular, it’s clunky and difficult to use if you’re new to Ethereum.

I recently wrote an article about how connecting users to your DApp can be made easier by allowing them to register and log in using social media accounts, through a wallet provider called Torus.

Here, I’m going to walk through another option. You can now allow your users to connect to your DApp using their email address or phone number using a wallet provider called Fortmatic.
