Passwordless Authentication

Why migrate to passwordless authentication?

Passwordless authentication provides the following:

Seamless login across the different WWT platforms (ATC Connect, wwt.com) and across different browsers/devices
No long password requirements
Access to the ATC Gateway and WWT Labs without a password requirement

What is changing?

All registration and login processes have been updated to support passwordless authentication.

Existing accounts that have logged in with a password previously, will be defaulted to logging in with a password.
New accounts created after 11/13 will be defaulted to logging in with passwordless authentication.

To update the default authentication settings, follow the instructions below.
