{wiki=Passwordless_authentication}
Passwordless authentication is a method of verifying a user's identity without requiring a traditional password. Instead of using a password, it relies on alternative means to authenticate users, enhancing security and improving the user experience. Common methods of passwordless authentication include: 1. **Biometric Authentication**: This uses unique characteristics of the user, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or retinal scans, to confirm identity. 2. **Magic Links**: Users receive a one-time link via email or SMS.
