SimpleAuth.Link documentation

Passwordless authentication for your users with just an email.

SimpleAuth.link allows application developers to stop worrying about user authentication and login systems.

From a UX perspective, it also simplifies the login process for the user by replacing the use of passwords with just their email address.

Allows you to uniquely, securely and privately identify the users of your application with just two API requests.

Getting started

1. Start creating your app.
2. Authenticate your users and allow them to create your tokens for your application.
3. Validate your users tokens.

How it works

1. Your app request an email address to your users and make a request to api.simpleauth.link.
2. The user receives an email with a magic link to your app that includes a user token that can be used to authenticate the user on api.simpleauth.link.

Magic links

Magic links are secure URLs with an expiration time, sent to a user's email to perform actions like logging in without a password. They improve security by eliminating the need for passwords and streamline the user experience by verifying identity through email.

Advantages of Magic Links

• Security: They can enhance security by reducing password fatigue and the risks associated with weak or reused passwords.
• Convenience: Magic links can simplify the user experience by allowing users to bypass the traditional login process.
• User Verification: They help in verifying the email address or contact information of a user, as the link is sent directly to the user's personal contact.
