What is Magic and why should I use it

What is Magic?

Magic is a developer SDK that you can integrate into your application to allow users to authenticate without a password.

To signup or login 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

Users can also one-click sign on with social providers (like Google, Facebook, GitHub, Apple) or log in with biometrics via WebAuthn.
