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](https://docs.ghost.org/themes/members?ref=ghost.org#sign-in-forms)
