You might think Unchained is a bitcoin custodian, but our collaborative multisig vaults let you hold your own self-custody keys for independent control.
Here's how it works:

A 3-of-5 multisig where you hold 2 keys, two loved ones each hold 1 key, and Unchained holds 1 key.
There would be many options to access your bitcoin:
A) Your 2 keys + a loved one who is available to help
B) Your 2 keys + Unchained
C) 1 of your keys + any two of your three key agents
D) 2 loved ones + Unchained, which may be useful for inheritance or as a last-resort backup
This is one of the many possible setups at Unchained.

Passkey adoption is exploding as people seek to secure their accounts in the new paradigm.
Passkeys actually work similarly to how bitcoin keys sign transactions. If you've used bitcoin and want to learn about passkeys, take a look at this article:

Multisig can offer a simpler trust model that's easier to verify.
Upgrading from singlesig to multisig shifts the center of trust, away from hardware wallet firmware, components, and your own ability to successfully protect a single key, toward the relatively simple, battle-tested multisig implementation within the bitcoin protocol itself.

Many don't know this, but Unchained has been able to support various flexible quorums for quite a bit now.
A 2-of-4 multisig where you hold 2 keys, a loved one holds 1 key, and Unchained holds 1 key.
You can access your bitcoin independently, but if your keys are totally lost there's still a recovery path (loved one + Unchained).
This is one of the many possible setups at Unchained.
