Utila uses mobile device Biometrics and supports passkeys for Multi Factor Authentication to secure access to key shares on a device. In addition, every key share is uniquely bound to a specific user and device and can not be used on a different device with a malicious actor.

Mobile Signing
Transactions can be initiated by users via the Console (web) or through API, but signed and published on another approved device (mobile or API). This allows greater flexibility when designing and building the security of the approval workflow of transactions and the access to private key shares.
