At Clue.Labs, we prioritise security and user convenience, which is why we use MagicLink authentication instead of traditional passwords. If you're wondering why you don’t have a password, let’s explain how MagicLinks work and why they provide a superior login experience.

What is a MagicLink?

A MagicLink is a secure, one-time-use link sent to your registered email address when you attempt to log in. Instead of requiring a username and password, you simply click the link in your email to gain access to your account.

How Does It Work?

  1. You enter your email address on the Clue.Labs login page.

  2. We send a unique, time-sensitive MagicLink to your email.

  3. You click the link, and it securely logs you into your account—no password needed!

Why Does Clue.Labs Use MagicLinks?

Traditional password-based systems are often cumbersome and pose security risks. MagicLinks offer several benefits:

  • Increased Security: Passwords can be weak, forgotten, or stolen. MagicLinks eliminate this risk by using a time-sensitive, single-use authentication method.

  • Convenience: No need to remember or reset passwords—just check your email and click.

  • Reduced Phishing Risks: Since there are no passwords to steal, the risk of credential-related attacks is significantly lower.

  • Frictionless Access: Quickly and easily log in without any additional authentication steps.

What If I Don't Receive My MagicLink?

If you don’t receive your MagicLink, check the following:

  • Ensure you entered the correct email address.

  • Check your spam or junk folder.

  • Wait a few minutes and try again.

  • If the issue persists, contact our support team for assistance.

At Clue.Labs, we believe in making authentication both secure and seamless. With MagicLinks, you get a fast, hassle-free login experience while keeping your account safe. Welcome to the future of password-free authentication!
