How do you disable smart accounts?

[shunz19]

When logging in with social account, the connected account defaults to a smart account. which throws error when calling provider.getSigner() for some reason.

When switching wallet address to a email one, calling provider.getSigner() works.

How do I disable smart accounts or atleast default to the non smart account one?

I'm using Ethers6 and React.

Hi @shunz19 can you pls explain what you are trying to do and why you're calling provider.getSigner()? Also curious what are you building?

Trying to sign a custom message for login verification.

It seems that they changed the default account to a "smart account" one on appkit social account when I asked this question. Currently the solution is to switch to a non smart account one and then you can sign messages with that. I opened an issue at reown appkit: reown-com/appkit#3386

gotcha. You're probably aware but in order to support logging in with Smart Contract wallets your verification logic needs to support EIP-1271/ERC-6492 signature verification.

Our example flows/logic are a good first step - we're shortly updating them though - https://viem.sh/docs/siwe/actions/verifySiweMessage is also a good pointer https://docs.reown.com/appkit/react/core/siwe#server-side

You can try logging in with the Social/Smart Account wallet here https://appkit-lab.reown.com/library/wagmi-siwe/

This applies not just to the AppKit social wallet but also to all other smart contract wallets including safe and Coinbase

is it possible to disable smart account or make email account default?

import { useAppKit, useAppKitAccount, useAppKitConnection } from '@reown/appkit/react'
import { useAccount } from 'wagmi'

const { address, addresses } = useAccount()
const { embeddedWalletInfo } = useAppKitAccount()
const { switchConnection } = useAppKitConnection({})

useEffect(() => {
if (embeddedWalletInfo) {
const isEoa = embeddedWalletInfo.accountType === 'eoa'
if (!isEoa && addresses.length > 1) {
const inactiveAddr = addresses.find((addr) => addr.toLowerCase() !== address.toLowerCase())
switchConnection({
address: inactiveAddr,
connection: { accounts: addresses.map((addr) => ({ address: String(addr) })), connectorId: 'ID_AUTH' },
})
}
}
}, [address, embeddedWalletInfo])
