Magic is a developer SDK that you can integrate into your application to enable passwordless authentication using magic links - similar to Slack and Medium.

When users want to sign up or log in to your application:

User requests a magic link sent to their email address
User clicks on that magic link
User is securely logged into the application

If it’s a web application, users are logged into the original tab, even if the user clicked on the magic link on a different browser or mobile device!
