If everyone says it isn't working, might as well know how it's supposed to work.

How DNS Works

Many internet services use OAuth and email based protocols for sending login links and tokens. I think it's a pretty slick way to log users in and reduces overhead for them by adding yet another credential to their password managers. Let's walk through how we can implement this – we'll also see a reference to pypale, a package that implements passwordless functionality for us.
