Passwordless login with Rails 7

Ruby on Rails ships with no user authentication layer. The core maintainers of the framework made this decision as it could vary per app how you might want to handle such a feat. Most developers I come across reach for the devise gem that works very well for most of your needs. There are even additional gems offering newer features like inviting users, one-time passwords, and more. Recently I questioned the whole notion of a login and password mechanism. We are conditioned to this way of "access" but it's quite cumbersome when it comes down to it. This guide takes the "magic link" approach to authentication where you enter your email and if it exists in the database, are emailed a link to sign in.
