How Magic Link Login Works

DBEverywhere uses magic link login instead of passwords. You enter your email, we send you a link, and clicking it logs you in. No password to create, remember, or reset.

How to Log In

  1. Go to dbeverywhere.com and click Get Started or Sign In.
  2. Enter your email address.
  3. Check your inbox for an email from DBEverywhere with a sign-in link.
  4. Click the link. You're logged in.

That's it. There is no password field anywhere.

Link Expiration

Sign-in links expire after 15 minutes. If you don't click the link within that window, go back to the login page and request a new one. There's no limit on how many times you can request a link.

I Didn't Get the Email

If the sign-in email doesn't arrive:

  • Check your spam/junk folder. This is the most common issue, especially the first time.
  • Check that you entered the right email. A typo means the link went somewhere else (or nowhere).
  • Wait a minute. Email delivery is usually instant but can occasionally take 30-60 seconds.
  • Try again. Go back to the login page and request a new link. Previous links are invalidated when you request a new one.

If you still don't receive it after a few attempts, your email provider may be blocking the sender. Try with a different email address, or contact us at support@dbeverywhere.com.

Why No Password?

Magic links are simpler and more secure for a service like DBEverywhere:

  • Nothing to remember — you can't forget a password that doesn't exist.
  • Nothing to steal — there's no password database to breach.
  • No reuse risk — people reuse passwords across services. Magic links eliminate that vector entirely.

Your email inbox is already the recovery mechanism for every password-based service (via "forgot password" emails). Magic links just skip the extra step.

Staying Logged In

After you click a sign-in link, your browser session stays active. You don't need to log in again every time you visit unless you explicitly log out, clear your cookies, or your session expires.
