Passwordless login

Users can use a one-time code instead of a password or follow a one-time link to log in to the application. The code or link can be sent via SMS or email. Code or link expires after 3 minutes.

The first time a user logs in to your application without a password, a new account is created automatically. You don’t have to implement additional logic for user sign-up.

1. Open your project in Publisher Account.
2. In the side menu, click Login.
3. Click Configure in the Login project pane.

   1. Click Change Login method in the alert next to the Login method name.

3. Click Save and set up. Previously saved settings will not be lost.

5. Go to Passwordless login > Settings and select the type of passwordless login method you want to use.

7. Click Save changes.

Magic links

Login via magic links is a type of passwordless login when a user logs in to an application by following a one-time link. Magic links are active on different devices: a user can enter a phone number and log in on a computer by following a link from SMS on their phone.

To enable magic links:

1. Open your project in Publisher Account.
2. In the side menu, click Login.
3. Click Configure in the Login project pane.
4. Go to the Passwordless login > Email settings section and set the Log in via magic link toggle to On.
5. If needed, configure the email template:
   1. Go back to the Login project page.
   2. Go to the Customization > Email customization section.
   3. In the drop-down list, select the Confirmation email (with link and code) template.
   4. Change email text. The magic link will be embedded in the {{.Link}} label.
   5. Click Save changes.
6. If needed, configure the SMS template:
   1. Go back to the Login project page.
   2. Go to the Customization > SMS customization section.
   3. Change SMS text in respective languages. The magic link will be embedded in the {{link}} label.
   4. Click Save changes.

To disable magic links, set the Log in via magic link toggle to Off. If needed, configure email and SMS template:

• For emails, use the Confirmation email (with code) template.
• When magic links are disabled, the {{link}} label is sent empty. If you change the SMS template when enabling magic links, make sure the text doesn’t include instructions to follow any links.
