# Passkeys & Other Keys

## Overview

A native multisig can combine secp256k1, P256, WebAuthn, and WebCrypto P256 owners. Each owner
approves through its own account implementation, and the shared store combines those approvals.

## Recipes

### Approve from Different Key Types

:::code-group
```ts twoslash [example.ts]
import { Account, P256, WebCryptoP256 } from 'viem/tempo'
import { client } from './multisig.config'

// 1. Create owners that use different signature schemes.
const secp256k1Owner = Account.fromSecp256k1(
  '0xac0974bec39a17e36ba4a6b4d238ff944bacb478cbed5efcae784d7bf4f2ff80'
)
const p256Owner = Account.fromP256(P256.randomPrivateKey())
const webCryptoOwner = Account.fromWebCryptoP256(
  await WebCryptoP256.createKeyPair()
)

// 2. Create a multisig from their addresses.
const multisig = Account.fromMultisig({
  owners: [
    secp256k1Owner.address,
    p256Owner.address,
    webCryptoOwner.address,
  ],
  threshold: 3,
})

// 3. Store the secp256k1 owner's approval.
const first = await client.multisig.approveTransaction({
  account: secp256k1Owner,
  calls: [
    { to: '0xcafebabecafebabecafebabecafebabecafebabe', value: 1n },
  ],
  multisig,
})

// 4. Reuse the request for the P256 owner's approval.
const second = await client.multisig.approveTransaction({
  ...first.request,
  account: p256Owner,
})

// 5. Reach quorum with the WebCrypto P256 owner.
const success = await client.multisig.approveTransaction({
  ...second.request,
  account: webCryptoOwner,
})
```

```ts twoslash [multisig.config.ts] filename="multisig.config.ts"
// [!include ~/snippets/tempo/multisig.config.ts:setup]
```
:::

WebAuthn owners use the same sequence with
[`Account.fromWebAuthnP256`](/tempo/accounts/account.fromWebAuthnP256). Each call can happen in a
different process as long as every coordinator uses the same store and prepared request.

## Best Practices

### Expect Passkey Prompts

A WebAuthn owner prompts for approval when its `approveTransaction` call signs the request.

### Let Viem Estimate Approval Gas

During preparation, Viem conservatively estimates the request for maximum-size WebAuthn approvals
because key types are not stored in the multisig config.
