Magic Link Registration

Magic link is an option for users to register passwordless authentication. It is a one-time accessible link sent by an administrator on your designated email ID to register allowing you to continue with the authentication process.

There are three scenarios in which a user can use a magic link: 

1. A new user

2. An existing user

3. A fallback use case

   Important:

   A user must be a part of the Passwordless Authentication policy to receive the Magic link and register for passwordless authentication.
