One-time codes for sign in - Ghost Changelog

In Ghost, member sign-in has always been password-less. Instead of asking your readers to remember yet another password, we send them a secure magic link that gets them logged in instantly.

That system isn't going anywhere, but we've heard from you that sometimes magic links can be a little awkward, especially on mobile devices where in-app browsers don't always play nice.

So today we're adding a new option: one-time codes.

Now when a member signs in, they'll receive both a magic link and a unique one-time code. They can choose whichever is more convenient — one-click login as usual, or simply type in the code right back where they started.

💡
Using a custom sign-in form in your Ghost theme? You can now enable one-time codes there, too. Learn more

Ghost(Pro) users can log in and start enjoying all of this right away! If you're a developer, self-hosting Ghost, you'll need to update to the latest version to get access to everything that's new.

If there are ways you think this feature could be more valuable based on the way you use Ghost, we’d like to hear it — feedback@ghost.org.

The one time codes are excellent, they were working on my site earlier today when I was testing a build, but since a fresh rebuild, the option has disappeared, any ideas why it isn’t available even though I am on latest Ghost (v6.5.3)

It’s working again, not sure why as I didn’t change anything, really liking this feature :)
