Before You Choose
Consider these questions first:
- Do you want the simplest path or the most control?
- Are you using WAX mostly in a browser, on mobile, or from a desktop workstation?
- Do you need developer and signing tools, or just day-to-day account access?
- Do you need recovery options that fit your own security practices?
