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!

@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!

Is this only for blockchain based applications or is it more general? Also, it's SOC2 compliant and meets WebAuthn criteria, correct?

how different is it from creating a temp session for the user email and emailing the temp session in the URL? genuinely trying to understand if sending a link with a session is insecure/bad

1. Why would I share my customers data with 3rd party when password/2fa are pretty well tested workflows/implementations? 2. GDPR compliant? 3. If slack used your service - how much would it costs for them monthly? (12M active users) - I cannot login to my email right away from the phone (for example) - without 2FA token (for security reasons) - so link based passwords are pain to use. Nevertheless, you basically move the whole threat from passwords maintenance on the shoulders of the email - "congratulation"

I'm a little confused. So is the no password login using magic links or codes sent to email or text? But you still need to login to email right to get your link and on the homepage it's showing social media logins so that also uses username and password. So can someone explain or have I missed something?

Password-only security is obsolete and dangerously insecure. I've been hoping for a solution like this for more than a decade. The danger and the stakes for user authentication security are growing exponentially by the day. As we add more valuable asset transactions to our applications, the need for non-custodial solutions with minimal vendor lock-in grows as well. Magic was easy to learn and easy to integrate with EricElliottJS.com, and we intend to use it as our exclusive auth solution for all of our new applications. The Magic team has created an elegant solution to a very challenging problem that every application team needs solved, but almost none should try to solve alone. Magic is a non-custodial key management solution that stores user keys in cloud-based Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Private keys are never exposed to the internet, and your users don't even need to know they exist. All users need is access to an email address and the ability to click a button. It's the most user-friendly, secure authentication solution I have ever seen.

Thanks @_SeanLi All good. I was not so much concerned about recover as I when need to use an app on a device but do not have access to email there and then.

@stevealee Really appreciate these questions, it's what helps us move forward! Arthur added more to the token in localstorage question too. Regarding logging in with Yubi or our own mobile authenticator app, once that's paired with an user account, no more email link will be required, login can be achieved by tapping Yubi key or a mobile notification (similar to DUO). For users going to be using our own mobile authenticator app, there will be a special recovery process involved (inspired by crypto wallets) for users who have locked themselves out by losing their device etc.

@_seanli I guess I'm stuck when I leave my phone in the car and my partner drives off in it :) Mind you without my phone lots of pain ensues anyway.
