Passwordless Login

ASP.NET Zero provides passwordless login feature out of the box, but it is disabled by default. It can be enabled in the User Management tab, on the host settings page.

When a user requests to login using passwordless login feature, a 6-digit unique code will be sent to users email address or phone number depending on users selection on passwordless login page.

  • A Passwordless login code can be used only once.
  • When a passwordless login code is verified, it can't be used anymore.

Passwordless login settings

In a multi-tenant application, passwordless login is available to tenants if it's enabled in the host settings. Additionally, depending on which type of passwordless login verification is active, tenants also have the option to enable or disable the active type on the settings page.

If any of the passwordless login options are turned on, a section for passwordless login will be displayed on the login screen as shown in the screenshot below.
