Changelog v1.13.0 New Security

Magic-link sign-in with step-up 2FA

Passwordless sign-in by magic link, with a step-up two-factor gate applied to every passwordless flow.

Published 1 min read

This release adds passwordless sign-in without weakening the second factor. Signing in by magic link is convenient; letting a link alone bypass 2FA is not, so it doesn’t.

Added

  • Magic-link sign-in — request a one-time link by email and sign in without a password. The link is single-use and time-bound.
  • Step-up 2FA — every passwordless flow is gated by a step-up two-factor check, so a magic link proves you control the inbox but still requires your second factor to complete sign-in. A member with 2FA enabled is never signed in by email alone.

Notes

Release date comes from the v1.13.0 git tag (14 July 2026). See the security overview for how authentication is handled.
