Passwordless login: a link to your e-mail instead of another password
We added link-based login. Enter your e-mail, click the link in the message and you are in, no password needed.

Passwords are a pain. You have to invent one, remember it, and then lose it anyway. We decided to give you a simpler way into your account.
We added passwordless login. You enter your e-mail, we send you a message with a link, you click the link and you are signed in. No inventing, no resetting, no writing it on a sticky note. The link works only for you and only for a short while, so it stays secure.
Why we prefer it
Because it is more convenient and more secure at once. Since you already have access to your inbox, let it be the key. There is no password for someone to guess or steal. If you prefer the old way of logging in, that option stays too. The choice is yours.
See: login.
