Magic Link Sign-In

How passwordless authentication works — secure, fast, and no passwords to remember.

Passwordless Authentication

Servida uses magic link authentication — a modern, secure way to sign in without passwords.

How It Works

  1. Enter your email on the sign-in page
  2. Check your inbox for an email from Servida
  3. Click the magic link — or enter the 6-character code shown in the email
  4. You're signed in — the session stays active until you sign out

Why Passwordless?

Traditional Passwords Magic Links
Can be forgotten Nothing to remember
Can be stolen in data breaches One-time use, expires quickly
Often reused across sites Unique to each sign-in
Require password managers Just your email

Troubleshooting

Didn't receive the email?

  • Wait up to a minute
  • Check your spam or promotions folder
  • Click Resend (available after 30 seconds)
  • Make sure you typed your email correctly

Email arrived but link doesn't work?

  • Links expire after 10 minutes — request a new one
  • Make sure you're opening the link on the same device/browser
  • Try entering the 6-character code manually instead

Using a different device?

  • You can enter the 6-character code from the email on any device
  • The code is not case-sensitive

Session Duration

Once signed in, your session stays active. You won't need to re-authenticate unless you:

  • Sign out manually
  • Clear your browser data
  • Haven't visited for an extended period

Next Step: Passkeys

For even faster sign-in, set up a passkey to use your fingerprint, face, or device PIN. See Passkey Authentication.
