Next-Auth Magic Link Implementation

Published:2025-07-06

In the last few days, I implemented magic link authentication and password recovery through email for credentials user for my site.

Magic Link Authentication Flow

  • User request for authentication link in their email
  • User get authentication link in the mail
  • New users are registered
  • Link is valid for some mins
  • User can request for new link after cooldown timer
  • Database adapter is required for Magic Link

Password Recovery for Credentials users

  • User click on forgot password
  • Enter their email and request password reset link
  • Only credentials user can request for password reset link
