Feature Description

I'd like to request implementation of a new passwordless login option for Smartstore. This would allow customers to authenticate using only their email address without needing to create and remember a password. There seems to be a trend for that.

User Flow

  1. Customer enters his email address on the Smartstore login screen
  2. Customer clicks "Login with Email"
  3. Smartstore sends a secure, time-limited authentication link to customers email
  4. Customer clicks the link in his email account
  5. He is automatically logged into his account (without having to type a password)

Benefits

  • Improved user experience: Removes friction during login
  • Enhanced security: Eliminates weak passwords and reduces risks of credential stuffing attacks
  • Reduced support: Fewer password reset requests to handle
  • Modern approach: Aligns with current best practices used by many popular services

Technical Considerations

  • Authentication links should be single-use and expire after a short period (15-30 minutes)
  • Should coexist with traditional password-based authentication
  • Could integrate with existing email template system?

Example Implementation

Similar functionality exists in other platforms like Liberapay (screenshot attached) and services like Slack, Medium, and others.

Priority

Medium - This would significantly improve user experience but is not critical functionality.
