Sign-in To Medium Now With Secure E-mail Links

      All these days you could sign in to Medium the stylish blogging social writing network using Twitter or Facebook. Both the services made signing in to Medium very quick and easy. It also allowed Medium to build other user’s connections. This made it possible for other users to show stories written by them. It further enabled people to view recommended pages by other users. But be ready to welcome signing in through your e-mail.

      There were some users who wanted to use Medium without using social network. There were these couple of users who did not have an account on Twitter or Facebook. Some users also prefer not to use their accounts for logging in. Some countries still do not allow people to access social networks. Hence Medium came up with the idea of signing in through secure e-mail links.For the sign-in process to be simple and secure process and authentication being a serious concern the team came up with this idea. Passwords are not all that secure or simple. It is hard to remember and often easy to guess. Passwords are also hard to type on mobiles.

Medium | The New Signing in Process

      When you want to sign-in to Medium, there will be a special sign in link that is sent to you through e-mail. The process is as simple as that. In case you have used the “Forgot Password” feature, you will be aware of the process. But in most cases you don’t have to forget your password to use it. This may seem counterintuitive. Actually this is more secure than the password based authentication system.  If someone guesses or hacks your password they can gain access to your account until you change the password. This might take some time.
