Alright folks, my users are really frustrated with the email pin for login method. I need to keep the data secured, and I need to know who is logged in to show the right data/options. Usage of my app is really suffering as a result of this frustration. I know there are several feature requests re…

[image] Kyan_Lynch: my users are really frustrated with the email pin for login method. I’m a little curious about this. Normally, once a user is signed in the authentication cookie will keep them signed in indefinitely. So in theory, they should only have to go through the sign in process …

Can you tell us more about what they find frustrating and what alternative you would prefer?

I don’t think that helps me, because I do need to limit access to certain people. Thanks for your thoughts, though!

If there is a possibility of using two email accounts for one user of which one should be Gmail, why don’t you use it now? Google Sign in is great and fast option. Why do you need email adresses from hospital domain? Maybe I didn’t get it, sorry… Just trying to understand the logic.
