Passwordless authentication
We implement passwordless login: passkeys (WebAuthn), magic email links, one-time-code login — without passwords that are forgotten, guessed and stolen. So login is more convenient and resistant to typical password attacks. Honestly upfront: passwordless removes password risks but does not 'cancel security' — it shifts trust to the user's device/email, and each method has its nuances and recovery.
Passwordless authentication — overview

Passwordless authentication is a project: we implement a suitable method(s) — passkeys/WebAuthn (tied to a device/biometrics, the most robust and phishing-resistant), magic email links, one-time codes (email/SMS), set up the login process, registration, recovery and a fallback. Honestly about the nature, this is key: passwordless login removes the classic password risks (guessing, reuse, password-database leaks, password phishing) — a real plus; but it is NOT 'magically secure': it SHIFTS the point of trust — a magic link/code by email is only as reliable as the user's email is protected (hack the email — hack the login); a passkey is very robust but tied to a device and requires well-thought recovery on loss/device change. Honestly about support: passkeys are supported by modern devices/browsers, but not equally everywhere — a fallback method is needed for compatibility. Honestly about recovery, important: without a password the access-recovery process becomes a critical link — too weak negates security, too strict locks people out; we work it out carefully. Honestly about the boundary: this is a login method, not all of account security (sessions, bot protection — adjacent). Honestly about access: access to the code/authentication system is needed. Honestly about the effect: more convenient and resistant to password attacks, but we do NOT guarantee sales growth by itself. An important boundary: this is passwordless, not a 2FA add-on to a password (746 — separate/adjacent) and not OAuth login (748). Picture this: instead of 'forgot the password / the password leaked' — login by passkey or magic link, without a password as the weak link. The base price starts from 20,000 ₽ per project; it depends on the method and system.
Problems we solve
- Users forget passwords, lose access, go to recovery.
- Passwords are guessed, reused, stolen from leaks.
- Password phishing and weak passwords are a constant risk.
- Login is inconvenient, reducing registration/return.

FAQ
Is passwordless login fully secure?
It removes password risks (guessing, leaks, reuse), but does not 'cancel security': it shifts the point of trust. A magic link/code is only as reliable as the email is protected; a passkey is very robust but tied to a device and requires well-thought recovery. It is a plus, not an absolute.
Do passkeys work everywhere?
They are supported by modern devices/browsers, but not equally everywhere. So we make a fallback method (e.g. a magic link/code) for compatibility, so no one is left without login.
What about recovery without a password?
It is a critical link: weak recovery negates security, strict recovery locks people out. We work out the process carefully (fallback methods, identity verification), balancing security and availability.
