🔐 A future without passwords enabled by TON Connect

In the digital age, usernames and passwords have become a tedious standard — accepted, despite being hated.

That's why we're changing it with TON Connect, offering a secure, streamlined login method for services and applications. Dive into why conventional logins are waning and how TON Connect redefines digital access.

▪️ Login standards are obsolete and dangerous
Passwords get lost, stolen, and forgotten. They're a weak link in our digital security. With TON Connect, you can log in to services and apps with a single click through your TON wallet.

▪️ TON Connect evolved
Initially pioneered by the Tonkeeper team, TON Connect has rapidly grown and is now a network-wide standard.

▪️ Broad support
All popular TON wallets, including Tonkeeper, Tonhub, MyTonWallet, OpenMask, TON Wallet, and more, are now fully integrated with TON Connect, as well as every ton.org service and many popular TON products.

▪️ Unified Connection
While other blockchain communities juggle multiple tech options, we've achieved a singular, cohesive method of connecting services and wallets — a breakthrough for users and developers.

▪️ Web 2.0 Adaptation
Are you using sites that still rely on the old username-password standard? Introducing the TON wallet's built-in password manager!
The team behind MyTonWallet browser extension announced a feature that auto-fills passwords on websites, generating secure passwords based on your TON wallet's private key.

▪️ Coming Soon
In the next update, dApps can send notifications directly to your TON wallet if you give explicit permission.
