Passwordless

Passwordless is a modern node.js module for express that allows authentication and authorization without passwords by simply sending one-time password (OTPW) tokens via email or other means. It utilizes a very similar mechanism as the reset password feature of classic websites. The module was inspired by Justin Balthrop's article "Passwords are Obsolete"

Check out a demo and further documentation on https://passwordless.net or have a look at an example.

Token-based authentication is...

• Faster to implement compared to typical user auth systems (you only need one form)
• Better for your users as they get started with your app quickly and don't have to remember passwords
• More secure for your users avoiding the risks of reused passwords
