Magic Link Login or Create

with Stytch · Identity & Access Management

Email a login-or-create magic link, authenticate the token, and verify the session.

  1. Send an email magic link that logs in an existing user or creates a new one, returning whether the user was newly created.
  2. Authenticate the magic link token captured from the clicked link to mint a session for the user.
  3. Read the active sessions for the authenticated user to confirm the session is live.
