Passwordless Authentication

How magic link login works in Totolaw - secure, simple, and password-free

What is Passwordless Authentication?

Passwordless authentication means you can log in to Totolaw without creating or remembering a password. Instead, we send you a secure "magic link" to your email. Click the link, and you're instantly logged in.

Why No Passwords?

More Secure

No passwords to steal, guess, or leak in data breaches

Easier to Use

No need to remember complex passwords or reset them

Always Fresh

Each login uses a new, unique link that expires quickly

Phishing Resistant

Links expire and can only be used once

How Magic Link Login Works

1

Enter Your Email

Go to the login page and enter your email address. That's it - no password field!

2

We Generate a Secure Link

Our system creates a unique, time-limited magic link just for you. This link:

Is completely random and impossible to guess
Expires after 15 minutes
Can only be used once
Is securely protected on our servers
3

Check Your Email

We send the magic link to your email address. Look for an email from Totolaw.

Your Login Link - Totolaw

from: noreply@totolaw.org

You requested a magic login link.

This link expires in 15 minutes.

4

Click the Magic Link

Click the button or link in the email. It will open Totolaw in your browser.

Tip: Click the link on the same device where you requested it. If you're on a phone, the link will work best in your mobile browser.

5

You're Logged In!

We verify the magic link is valid and log you in automatically. You're redirected to your dashboard.

Success!

You're now logged in and can access all features.

Security Features

15-Minute Expiration

Magic links automatically expire after 15 minutes. If you don't click the link in time, simply request a new one.

Secure Codes

Each magic link contains a unique secure code that's impossible to guess or forge, ensuring only you can use it.

Rate Limiting

You can only request 5 magic links per 15-minute window, preventing abuse and spam.

Email Verification

Only the owner of the email address can receive and click the magic link, providing inherent verification.

Single-Use Links

Once you click a magic link and log in, that link is immediately invalidated and cannot be used again.

Secure Connection

All magic links use secure, encrypted connections to prevent interception when you click them.

Common Questions

What if I don't receive the email?

If you don't receive the magic link email within a few minutes:

  • • Check your spam/junk folder
  • • Verify you entered the correct email address
  • • Wait a moment and try requesting a new link
  • • Contact your administrator if the problem persists
Can I use the same magic link multiple times?
No. Each magic link can only be used once. After you click it and log in, it's immediately invalidated. If you need to log in again later, request a new magic link.
What happens if the magic link expires?
If you click an expired link (older than 15 minutes), you'll see an error message. Simply go back to the login page and request a new magic link. The process takes just seconds.
Is it safe to click the link on public WiFi?
Yes! Magic links use secure encryption, so they're safe to use even on public WiFi. However, for maximum security, always ensure you're clicking the link from a trusted device.
Can someone else use my magic link if they get access to my email?
Yes - this is why email security is crucial. If someone has access to your email, they can use the magic link. Always:
  • • Keep your email account secure with a strong password
  • • Enable two-factor authentication on your email
  • • Log out of email on shared devices
  • • Report suspicious activity immediately
How long do I stay logged in?
You'll stay logged in for 7 days of inactivity. After that, you'll need to log in again with a new magic link. Your login is automatically extended every 24 hours while you're actively using the system.
Can I request multiple magic links at once?
Yes, but be aware that only the most recent magic link will work - previous links are automatically invalidated when you request a new one. Also, you're limited to 5 requests per 15-minute window to prevent abuse.
What if I click the magic link on a different device?
That's fine! You can request a magic link on one device (like your phone) and click it on another device (like your desktop). The link will work on any device with a web browser.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

Error: "Invalid or expired link"

The magic link has expired or been used already.

Solution: Request a new magic link from the login page.

Email not arriving

The magic link email isn't showing up in your inbox.

Solution: Check spam folder, verify email address, wait 2-3 minutes, or request a new link.

Link doesn't work when clicked

Clicking the link does nothing or shows an error.

Solution: Copy the link from the email and paste it into your browser.

Rate limit exceeded

Message saying you've requested too many magic links.

Solution: Wait 15 minutes before requesting a new link. Check your recent emails for an existing valid link.

Logged out unexpectedly

You were logged out before the 7-day expiration.

Solution: This is normal if you cleared your browser data, logged out manually, or your login expired. Simply log in again with a new magic link.
