Link for Login

The fully hosted Link for Login service

Two API calls. No redirects. No token leakage. Authentication that gets out of your way.

Why Link for Login?

Simple, secure, and developer-friendly authentication

Lightning Fast

Two API calls is all it takes. Start auth, verify token. Done.

Backend-Only Trust

Tokens never touch the browser. Zero XSS attack surface.

You Own Sessions

Create your own cookies and sessions. We don't store state.

How It Works

Authentication in two simple API calls. No redirects, no complexity.

User Enters Email

Your app collects the user's email address

We Send Magic Link

Email with clickable link + backup code arrives instantly

User Clicks Link

One-click authentication or manual code entry

You Create Session

Your backend verifies and creates a session

Integration Example

// 1. Start authentication
await fetch('https://api.linkforlogin.com/auth/start', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    email: '[email protected]',
    method: 'magic_link',
    validationUrl: 'https://yourapp.com/auth/verify'
  })
});

// 2. Verify token (server-side)
const { user } = await fetch('https://api.linkforlogin.com/auth/verify', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ sessionId: token })
}).then(r => r.json());

// Done! Create your session
