Hi all! I’ve been a longtime Glide user, but I’ve hit a wall because I need to build a way to login without the email and pin system.
I saw this picture on the Glide Pages ad site. Is this something that I can do with Glide Pages now? I just want to allow users to login with email and password, and then have access to their information throughout the app.
I’ve started to migrate over to other platforms (Adalo, Bubble), largely because of this issue. But if I can fix this problem with Pages, I’d way rather stick with Glide!
That’s very exciting news, and would be a game changer for me. Are there any workarounds that I could implement in the meantime? Possibly using a different service for the authentication and then passing along some sort of token?
Just wanted to say that I’m a big fan of Glide and this plus Airtable integration are huge advantages that would allow me to stay with Glide instead of needing to switch to another platform
I’m not speaking for Glide, my two cents about passwords:
Passwords are one of the major pains of the internet. There’s definitely a trend moving away from traditional passwords.
More and more services, including the big players like Google, Apple, and Microsoft, are pushing passwordless options. They are switching to things like OTPs (one-time passwords), email pins, or magic links instead of making you remember and manage a password.
Passwordless options are user-friendly, no need to manage tons of passwords.
It’s not just about convenience, but also better security. No more weak or reused passwords to worry about.
Personally I’m pretty happy that Glide is at the forefront and not offering app login with passwords, that would be an unnecessary step backwards.
