Turalogin is a hosted passwordless authentication service that uses your email provider's security instead of requiring separate 2FA setup. Turalogin isn't traditional 2FA. it's better. Passwordless email authentication provides stronger security with simpler UX.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires two different types of proof:
Password, PIN, security question
Phone, authenticator app, hardware key
Fingerprint, face ID, biometrics
2FA adds security but also complexity. You still need password infrastructure, plus TOTP secret storage, SMS delivery, or hardware key support.
Instead of password + second factor, Turalogin uses email control as the primary (and only) factor. Why this is actually more secure:
Gmail, Outlook, and other major email providers enforce 2FA for account access. When you use Turalogin, you inherit their security infrastructure.
With traditional 2FA, if the password leaks (database breach, phishing, "Password123!"), attackers have half the puzzle. With Turalogin, there's no password to leak.
Even with 2FA enabled, email is typically the recovery method. Lost your authenticator? Reset via email. If email is the ultimate authority anyway, why not build security around it?
Users don't need to install authenticator apps, remember passwords, or manage backup codes. Click email, get authenticated. The security comes from the email provider's protections.
