Login without a password to forget,
reset or reuse somewhere risky
Most password resets exist because passwords are the problem, not a feature worth defending. We build login around a magic link or a passkey instead. There is no password to forget, reuse across sites, or lose in a breach. There is also a fallback path for users on devices that do not support passkeys yet.
What replaces the typed password
Passwordless login replaces a typed password with something the user already controls. One option is a one-time link sent to their email or Telegram. The other is a passkey: a cryptographic credential tied to their device using the WebAuthn standard. It gets confirmed with a fingerprint, a face scan or a device PIN, instead of a typed secret. Both approaches remove the password database as a target, and remove the password-reset flow as a support burden. Between them, those two account for a large share of account-related friction in most apps.
When it is worth switching
You need this for any new app or portal where you can choose the login model from the start. Passwordless is simpler to build correctly than password-based login with proper hashing, reset flows and breach-response logic. It is also worth retrofitting into an existing app once password resets or credential-stuffing attempts become a visible support or security cost.
You do not need this if your users expect, or your product category requires, a traditional password. Some enterprise clients still mandate it for specific compliance reasons. The same goes if your user base is on devices or email providers where magic links are unreliable. In that case, a well-built password flow with two-factor authentication is the more practical choice.
How we build it
Magic links are the default path because they work everywhere. A user enters their email or opens the bot in Telegram, and receives a single-use link or code valid for a short window. Clicking or entering it creates a session. No password ever exists to leak. Tokens get generated with proper entropy, stored hashed, and invalidated the moment they are used or they expire, so a leaked or forwarded link cannot be reused later.
WebAuthn passkeys get added where your user base’s devices realistically support them, and most modern phones and browsers do, at this point. That gives a faster login that still has no shared secret to steal. The credential lives on the user’s device, and our server only stores a public key, useless to an attacker without the device itself. For either path, rate limiting on link and code requests stops the obvious abuse, like someone spamming a stranger’s inbox. Every login attempt gets logged for your own review.
What to watch
Magic links depend on email or Telegram deliverability. A login flow is only as reliable as the channel delivering the link. We monitor delivery and build a visible retry path, rather than leaving a user stuck if a link does not arrive quickly. Passkey support still varies by device and browser age. That is why we treat it as an enhancement over magic links, not a replacement, until coverage is closer to universal. Losing access to the email account or Telegram account used for login is a real recovery edge case, planned for the same way a lost 2FA device is.

This pairs with two-factor authentication and single sign-on and OAuth as parts of the same identity layer. It is part of the development service. The login model here is close to what runs in secure Telegram Mini App infrastructure and the account system behind the TaskWall app.

FAQ
How much does passwordless login cost?
From $1,000 for magic-link login via email or Telegram on one application. Adding WebAuthn passkeys on top adds time, since device support still varies.
How long does it take?
1 to 2 weeks for magic links. 2 to 3 weeks if passkeys are included, mostly for testing across devices.
What if a user's device does not support passkeys?
Magic links work everywhere a browser or messenger app does. That is why we build them as the default path and passkeys as a faster option where supported, not the only option.
Is a magic link less secure than a password?
Done right, no. The link is single-use, short-lived, and sent only to a channel, email or Telegram, the user already controls. That removes the password-reuse and credential-stuffing risks passwords carry.
Can we keep passwords as a fallback for existing users?
Yes, a transition period with both options is common. We design the migration so existing users are not forced to change their login method on a specific day.
