Are you using passwordless auth via emails in your app to authenticate users?

Question

Whats your experience with that / opinion about it?

Yep, that's what we do on #rayfeed. So far it's been working well and the email delivery is quick usind SendGrid. We didn't have any complaints either.

Matt Baer · Answer

We give people the option on #writeas and though it's definitely used, the majority of users still log in with username and password. It could be us down-playing the option to log in via email, but people don't complain too much about logging in with a password.

We do it via text at Startup. Has been working great for the past 2 or 3 years. Nobody has complained yet about not having to remember yet another username and password.

Very curious about this since I saw how flawless it can work on zeit. Is anyone using it with a massive user base?
