One-time codes for sign in

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.

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.
