Magic Links

Magic link authentication is one of the login methods provided by the Wristband Identity Provider (IdP). When enabled, users authenticate by entering their email address and receiving a one-time login link via email. No password is required.

For more context, see:

• Identity Providers → An overview of the Wristband IdP and the other login methods it supports
• Login: Wristband-Hosted UI → How magic link login works for end users

Enabling Magic Link Login

Magic link login is configured under Identity Providers → Wristband in the Application View of the Wristband Dashboard. The Supported Login Factors setting controls which login method is presented to users.

By default, users must log in with a password. To enable magic links, set the Supported Login Factors to either Only receive a magic link or Choose either a password or magic link. If both are enabled, users can toggle between the two on the login page, and you can configure which is presented first via the Primary Login Factor setting. See Passwords for more.

ℹ️

Note: Magic link login requires the Wristband Identity Provider to be enabled for your application. If it is disabled, none of the Wristband IdP login factors will be available to users. Make sure the Enable the Wristband identity provider? toggle is turned on before configuring login factors.

Tenant-Level Override

The Supported Login Factors setting can be overridden at the tenant level if a specific tenant needs a different login method. To do so, select a tenant from the Select a Tenant to Configure dropdown in the Application View, then navigate to Identity Providers → Wristband and enable the tenant override toggle.

⚠️

Important: Enabling the tenant override affects all IdP types for that tenant, not just the Wristband IdP.
