Hi
Is there way to let users utilize username password to sign into ghost?. The magic link system seems to make this process very cumbersome and prevents letting users some one else try your membership system.

Have you checked out our complimentary member option? Or our “impersonate” feature? These are handy methods of inviting users without getting caught up in your specific member flow 
Hi
Actually I am offering subscriptions to companies which will have multiple users. On wordpress they would just share the password (Like Netflix !)
By tying to down to one email, we would have to manually operate the accounts for multiple users, so was looking for an option to use a username/password.

Would it be possible to build this functionality through a plugin, using gatsby as frontend? Or an integration?
Has there been any progress on alternative logins for readers — ideally passkeys, but even passwords would an improvement over these #&^%@!#% magic links.
Ghost is growing in popularity; as a reader, I’m losing my mind. Every time I try to read an article on a Ghost site I want to throw my laptop out a window.
I’ve built integrations that do social sign-on and integrations that do passwords. Neither of these is natively supported in Ghost, however.
“Every time I try to read an article on a Ghost site I want to throw my laptop out a window.”
Uh… I’m super confused by this. You should need to do the magic link process once, and then not again unless you switch browsers or clear your cache/cookies. So if you’re having to do it every time you try to read an article, something is seriously odd about the way you have your browser set up, or you’ve got your security settings dialed up to 11. Do you have problems with staying logged in on other sites, too?
I’ve never seen one of these sessions last more than a couple days.
Do you have a git repo or something that outlines how these integrations were accomplished?
Sorry, but this is a product I sell. (I don’t work for Ghost.org. Don’t let the cute avatar fool you.)
The short answer is there’s a signin_urls endpoint, and you can use it to get a link and then redirect the user to it. If you’ve ever implemented an oauth2 flow, that’s probably the only piece you’re missing.
