Updated over a week ago

We know how frustrating it can be to juggle multiple passwords across different websites. That's why we've introduced Magic Links—a brand-new feature designed to streamline the sign-in process for your end-users. Say goodbye to forgotten password requests and hello to a faster, more seamless experience!

Why Magic Links Are a Big Win for You

Magic Links aren’t just convenient—they offer real, measurable benefits for your business and your users:

  • Friction-Free Sign-In: With Magic Links, users no longer need to remember passwords. This smooth, frustration-free experience means they're more likely to engage and stay active on your platform, reducing drop-off and increasing retention.

  • Reduced Support Overhead: Say goodbye to endless password reset requests. Magic Links minimize the number of users needing assistance with password recovery, freeing up your support team to focus on more important tasks.

  • Effortless Transition Between Sites: If your users already have accounts on platforms like Shopify or WordPress, syncing passwords is no longer a headache. Magic Links make it easy to switch between sites without the worry of password conflicts, saving your users time and hassle.

How Magic Links Work

Magic Links make signing in easier than ever. Here’s how:

  1. Users simply enter their email address on the sign-in page.

  2. Instead of requiring a password, they’ll receive an email with a unique link.

  3. Clicking the link will instantly sign them into their account—no password needed!

The Security Behind Magic Links

You might be wondering, are Magic Links secure? Absolutely! Here’s why:

  • The magic link is only sent to the email address associated with the end user’s account. Since only the account owner can access that inbox, it's just as secure as a password reset email.

  • Each magic link is valid for only one hour and can be used just once, ensuring extra security. If the link expires, users can easily request a new one.

What does the login experience look like?

As of September 10th, 2024, Password less Sign in with Magic Links are enabled on all Uscreen Storefronts by default. There is no way to disable these features.

Now when your end-users go to your sign-in page they will have a new login experience.

They simply type in their email address for their account and press continue. Or they can choose to sign in with their password.

Once they have entered their email, they will be prompted to check their email inbox:

They still have the option of signing in with a password as well.

The email will be delivered to their email address:

They click "Sign In" and will be taken to your catalog, signed in, and ready to view new content!

The Bottom Line: Why You’ll Love Magic Links

Incorporating Magic Links means less frustration for your users, fewer support requests, and more active engagement. It’s not just a feature—it’s a powerful tool to keep users coming back without the hassle of passwords. Your customers will thank you, and your team will appreciate the reduced support burden.
