Extension:PasswordlessLogin

The Passwordless Login extension is an experimental extension that was created during the Wikimedia Hackathon 2019 in Prague. It allows an user to login to their user account on a MediaWiki site without entering their password anymore. Instead they can confirm that they want to login with their previously paired smartphone.

The login mechanism can be considered secure as long as the MediaWiki site where the user wants to login is accessible by https only. There's which, if implemented, requires the user of https at all.
