With Byepass installed on a Site, there will be no need for a password field. Instead, users will be sent a magic link through their email & once authorized, Byepass will create a cross-Site session that allows you to log into any other Site that uses Byepass.

Moreover, Byepass gives you multi-device control. This means you can authorize requests to log into your accounts through a computer from a smartphone & you will be logged in on your original device instantly.
