Secure Magic Links
Admin guide to Magic links
A Secure Magic Link is a one-time, encrypted link sent directly to a user's email inbox. When the user clicks the link, they are instantly signed in to Hive - no password required. Each link is single-use and expires after a short period, making it both convenient and secure.
Magic Links are available for both employees and dashboard (manager/admin) users.
Why use Secure Magic Links?
- Passwordless - eliminates the risk of forgotten or weak passwords
- Out-of-the-box 2FA - because the link is delivered to a user's inbox, access to their email acts as a second verification factor, satisfying Cyber Essentials requirements.
- No setup for employees - they simply click the link when they want to sign in
