# Configure a signer

When [creating a smart account](../create-smart-account.md), you must specify a signer. The signer owns the smart account and is responsible for
generating the signatures required to submit <GlossaryTerm term="User operation">user operations</GlossaryTerm>. MetaMask Smart Accounts is signer-agnostic, allowing you
to use any signer you prefer, such as Embedded Wallets, <GlossaryTerm term="Passkey">passkeys</GlossaryTerm>, <GlossaryTerm term="Externally owned account (EOA)">EOA</GlossaryTerm> wallets, or a custom signer.

MetaMask Smart Accounts has a native integration with [MetaMask Embedded Wallets](/embedded-wallets/), making user onboarding easier. In addition to the native integration, you can use
third-party wallet providers as Privy, Dynamic, or Para as the signer for your smart account.
