I am building a website for individuals who are very new to computers. Ease of use is going to be very important. I would like to give the users a way to login but do not want it complicated for them. Because they are new to computers, I was wondering is it possible to build a login system with just an email and no password. I know there could be a lot of security risks with this. However, I would like to hear some insight or suggestions to accomplish an easy membership login system. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks
Yes doing it this way tends to be less secure. But there is also ways you can make its more secure than normal by trying to use various hardware and network detection methods and you can use that information and be a little more secure. But also understand all data can be faked. If you have nothing to hide inside the authorized then there is nothing wrong with it as those are your needs. I would advise against it if there is any data that could be harmful to you or your users available inside your authorized area’s.
You may not want passwords, but why not offer them some really easy security questions? And not the generic & lame kind that we honestly don’t care about. If anything it would really supplement the email alone login appeal. It’s better than the email alone.
Thank you both for the reply. I am playing with all ideas to create something with ease of use. I am wondering if the login via Facebook or Instagram thing I sometimes see it related to some type of easy login? I am going to investigate this. Thanks
Might you be looking for SSO?
I will look into this… great… thanks a lot.
