Passwordless authentication with email OTP

βš™οΈConfiguration🏬Self-hosted❌Unsolved❓QuestionπŸ”—OIDC
Hello everyone,

I am an Authentik user and I am considering alternatives because I cannot make this workflow work in Authentik and honestly it's hard to use it.

I manage my users manually. I create the users in Authentik with the respective emails. No passwords.
The flow is supposed to be fail proof for non-tech people. I am trying to make my parents use Immich without having to remember passwords.

So basically it would work like this:

1. User opens Immich (or any other webapp with OIDC)
2. User enters email address
3. User receives a temporary code
4. User enters the code in Zitadel/SSO login page
5. User is logged in to Immich.

Bonus points if the user can login by clicking on a link sent via email instead of a teporary code.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!
