From September 2025, Realm Realtime platform is going passwordless. Passwords have been the traditional method of logging in since the birth of the internet, but nowadays they are
considered insecure and are a common target for malicious attacks and data breaches. In addition, using strong passwords is an inconvenience to users as they rely on memorizing complex,
unmemorable strings of text.
What is passwordless?
Passwordless logins are a modern, secure alternative to passwords. They have built-in multi-factor authentication, and are much more secure against malicious attacks. Realm Realtime platform
offers two methods of passwordless authentication: Passkey or Magic Link.
How do Passkeys work?
A passkey is a modern, secure alternative to a password. It is connected to a specific device and uses that device's native authentication method (e.g. fingerprint, face id, windows hello)
to verify your identity. It cannot be cracked by a hacker, and you don't need to remember anything. It takes just a few clicks to set up so why not try it now?.
How do Magic links work?
A magic link is an alternative passwordless login method to passkeys. It means that we'll send a link to your registered email address and clicking on that link will log you in. No passwords
to remember, and simple logins every time.
