Lesson Overview

Magic links let users sign in without a password. Instead of entering a password, a user requests a one-time link by email. When the user clicks the link, Klai redeems the token and signs them in.

Prerequisites

• A Klai app with authentication enabled.
• Ability to edit pages in Klai.
• Access to the FileMaker file that powers the app.
• An email inbox you can use for testing.

Key Takeaways

• Magic links are a two-step flow: request the link, then redeem the token.
• Klai generates and validates the token, but FileMaker must send the email.
• Password reset and magic link sign-in share token fields, so the most recent request wins.
