MagicLink Authentication

This repository demonstrates how to extend mix phx.gen.auth's default capabilities by adding "magic link" authentication. That is, one-time sign-in links delivered to your email.

Visit John Elm Lab's Writeup for more info.

Run the demo:

To start the Phoenix server:

• Run asdf install to install the correct elixir and erlang versions
• Run mix setup to install and setup dependencies
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server or inside IEx with iex -S mix phx.server

To demonstrate the sign-in flow:

1. Create an account at http://localhost:4000/users/register
2. Log out of the account (Sign out button at top right of home page)
3. Navigate to http://localhost:4000/users/log_in
4. Enter email and click "Send me a link"
5. Navigate to the mailbox http://localhost:4000/dev/mailbox and find the magic link email
6. Navigate to the sign in URL contained in the email
7. Done!
