penguin-passwordless

Passwordless is a modern node.js module for Express that allows authentication and authorization without passwords by simply sending one-time password (OTPW) tokens via email or other means. It utilizes a very similar mechanism as the reset password feature of classic websites. The module was inspired by Justin Balthrop's article "Passwords are Obsolete"

Since penguin is unopinionated about authentication, this middleware provides authentication via passwordless.

Just plug it into your penguin.js based website using the middleware mechanism.

$ npm i penguin-passwordless
$ penguin run --middleware [ penguin-passwordless ]
