07/20/2022, 4:10 PMI understand there is an issue about this, but I’d like to ask more generally:
Is it possible to (self-host) Kratos and also allow users to have an email-based passwordless login? Could I potentially side-load a passwordless login strategy and interface with some of Kratos’s API to manually handle the creation of identities, etc.? Or, if I need this, is my only option to wait for (or attempt to contribute) an implementation of it in the project?

Hello Alfie, there are some workarounds that would make it possible (e.g. using verification flow), but magic links still need a proper implementation to be usable out of the box.

07/21/2022, 1:17 PMYep no worries, just trying to make sure that we could manually work around it if we wanted to!

07/21/2022, 2:23 PMWould you be able to give us any pointers on how to go about this?
Also, just to verify, you’re saying that you think we could use the verification flow (or something else) to manually implement a magic link login flow ourselves?

Yes, with the verification flow you get an email with a link that gives you a session . Of course the email template does not match but there is probably a way to workaround.
I am not able to give you much more pointers as I have never implemented it and we don’t have such a workaround documented.
