Easily access a higher level of Bitcoin security. Multisig is back in the Blockstream app.
2of3 with 2FA: you hold two of the three keys. One on your phone, a backup offline on @BlockstreamJade or @Blockstream Metal. Blockstream cosigns when you authorize with a 2FA code.
You set the rules on a @Blockstream app 2FA Protected account.
Choose when 2FA expires: 6, 12 or 15 months. Set a threshold so smaller sends skip the second factor. Lose your 2FA and, once the timelock passes, an open-source tool gets your bitcoin back without relying on us.

Losing your phone doesn't mean losing your bitcoin. It was never on the phone: it lives on the network, and the phone just held the keys.
Restore from your recovery phrase on a new phone and your balance and history come back, as long as you backed it up.

The easiest way into multisig is a 2FA Protected account in the @Blockstream app.
Approve sends with your choice of second factor: SMS, email or an authenticator app. No extra hardware to set up.

Multisig is one of the best ways to step up your Bitcoin security. In the @BlockstreamApp it sets up in minutes, so you can start small and get comfortable before you commit.
Sending from a 2FA Protected account looks like any other send. Check the address, amount and fee, then slide to send.
By default two keys sign: one on your device, and one @Blockstream holds that only signs once you approve with your second factor.
