Premint also quickly updated the site to provide safer login ways such as Twitter and discord instead of wallets. “Starting today, you don’t need your wallet when logging back into PREMINT.”
Starting today, you don’t need your wallet when logging back in to PREMINT.
Now, once you’ve connected your Twitter or Discord accounts to your wallet (https://t.co/rdjDd5qUcM), use them to log in to your account.
It’s safer and way more convenient. Especially on mobile! pic.twitter.com/BSSyzx7zkj
