Authentication coded (sends email for token = completely passwordless)

Nic Coates Author

In terms of the tech, it's my own code that generates a random uuid and stores that code in a table. When a user logs in, the code is generated, stored and then emailed to the user to click on the URL. The code expires either on logout or after 3 hours.

Passwordless needs to be the way forward - it's so much easier. I think there is divided opinion on whether it's more secure or not (I personally think it is).

i also think it's more secure! It's at least AS secure as passwords since there has to be a "reset passwork via email" option ;P Interesting, thanks for explaining!
