Magic - Make passwords disappear with a touch of Magic

by•
Passwords are the bane of app security. With a few lines of code and no bloat, Magic lets you build apps with blazing-fast, customizable, passwordless login - with future-proof crypto and identity tech under the hood.

Wow

@leon_do Thanks Leon! Would love to hear any questions or feedback!
Greg Garnhart
Great to see that you all will be integrating with Zeit / Next.js! Any timeline on those projects? Congrats on the launch--product looks incredible
Sean Li
@ggarnhart Thanks Greg!! Zeit/Next.js will be one of our next examples! 😉We've already started writing the example code for this, but couldn't make it for this launch :p I'll be jumping back to it after this launch and am looking to get this out in a couple weeks! Also feel free to suggestion other examples we should write too!
Greg Garnhart
@_seanli Awesome to hear! The express example is the one I'm looking at now, but I'd love to see this work in other apps. Might be neat to do something with Flutter 😮(i'd peg that at a far lower priority, as far as my needs go, though!) Thanks for building cool things :)
Sean Li
@ggarnhart Thanks for the suggestions - love making fun toys for developers! Flutter is an interesting suggestion - I can talk to my team about it. Though RN, iOS and Android native SDKs should be coming soon 😄

We've been using Fortmatic at Rarible and we love the user experience that it brings to the blockchain. I'm happy to see this extended to the Web 2.0 world!
Sean Li
@alexander_salnikov Thanks Alex!! 😄It's time we blend the worlds of Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 together! 🔥

This looks great!
Sean Li
@brians9 Thanks Brian! You can give Magic a spin right now using our Get Started guide! docs.magic.link/get-started . Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!
Yevhenii Peteliev
Wow! I'm very excited. I can't wait when I try it :) Congratulations! What will be the next steps?
Sean Li
@peteliev Thank you so much! More examples will be coming! Pricing and blockchain support. And then webauthn and mobile authenticator app support!
Félix Paradis
Looks promising. Seeing no Pricing page makes me sad though :(
Sean Li
@feldev It's coming very soon I promise! 😄we'll be carrying over the pricing from our existing key management product (https://fortmatic.com/pricing) and make slight adjustments. Love to hear your feedback on the price range as we are trying to make this an optimal choice for startups and growing companies too!
J Mok
Wow I can't wait. This is awesome
Sean Li
@trackingtrump93 Thanks! You can actually give it a spin right now using our Get Started guide! https://docs.magic.link/get-started . Pricing tiers will be coming very soon after this launch, and let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

Exciting! no password is the new password ;)

@antoine_nivard Hahhah thanks Antoine! It's about time ;) https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.c...

I love this! At Bullionix we were planning to integrate Fortmatic anyways very soon. Now this will hopefully make it even easier. Great job guys!
Sean Li
@coderdannn That sounds awesome! We'll be porting Web3 functionality to Magic shortly after launch, and seamlessly migrate existing whitelabel SDK customers to Magic! Let us know if you guys have any questions in the meanwhile!
Vineet Goel
How is this different from standard 2 factor auth? Also, how does Magic protect against compromised emails?
Sean Li
@vineet_goel1 good question! We start with magic link emails since it's the easiest way to get users started even though it may be susceptible to compromised emails (good thing most email providers have better protection mechanisms now). In the near future we will have other hardware/device login which can be added by users for added security and recoverability! Progressive disclosure is key for Magic, ease users in with magic links, and then graduate them into more advanced ways to login later. The other unique aspect with Magic is that we use decentralized identity (DID), developers only need to deal with DID tokens signed by keys on the backend resource server, and the front-end key management form-factor can be very flexible (magic links, mobile authenticator, webauthn etc.) without having to change the backend code!
