Passwordless APIs

Request Headers

X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.

Specify a tenant Id on this request when you want to ensure the request is scoped to a specific tenant. The tenant Id may be provided through this header or by using a tenant locked API key to achieve the same result.

See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.

Request Body

applicationId [String] Required

The unique Id of the Application you are requesting to log into.

loginId [String] Required

The login identifier of the user. The login identifier can be either the email or the username.

state [Object] Optional

If it is not provided in the request body this header value will be used if available, the request body value will take precedence.

Request Parameters

applicationId [String] Optional

The unique Id of the Application you are requesting to log into. If omitted, no application-specific settings such as lambdas or email templates will be applied.

code [String] Required

The unique code sent via email used to complete the login request.

ipAddress [String] Optional

The IP address of the end-user that is logging into FusionAuth. If this value is omitted FusionAuth will attempt to obtain the IP address of the client, the value will be that of the X-Forwarded-For header if provided or the last proxy that sent the request. The IP address will be stored in the User login history.

metaData.device.description [String] Optional

A human readable description of the device used during login. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this login request.

metaData.device.name [String] Optional

A human readable name of the device used during login. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this login request.

metaData.device.type [String] Optional

The type of device represented by the device parameter. This meta data is used to describe the refresh token that may be generated for this login request.

Prior to version 1.46.0, this value was restricted to the following types:

• BROWSER

• DESKTOP

• LAPTOP

• MOBILE

• OTHER

• SERVER

• TABLET

• TV

• UNKNOWN

In version 1.46.0 and beyond, this value can be any string value you’d like, have fun with it!

noJWT [Boolean] Optional defaults to false

When this value is set to true a JWT will not be issued as part of this request. The response body will not contain the token or refreshToken fields, and the access_token and refresh_token cookies will not be written to the HTTP response.

This optional parameter may be helpful when performing high volume authentication requests and the JWT is not being utilized, in this scenario removing the additional latency required to issue and sign the JWT may have a measurable cumulative effect on performance.

twoFactorTrustId [String] Optional

The Two Factor Trust identifier returned by the Two Factor Login API response. This value may be provided to bypass the Two Factor challenge when a User has Two Factor enabled.

{
  "applicationId": "10000000-0000-0002-0000-000000000001",
  "code": "CynAUMCHLxCCAWyHXOVWPQd8ZY0a6U0e3YpYkT0MNxs"
}

Response Body

refreshToken [String]

The refresh token that can be used to obtain a new access token once the provided one has expired.

Because a refresh token is per user and per application, this value will only be returned when an applicationId was provided on the login request and the user is registered to the application.

You must explicitly allow generation of refresh tokens when using the Login API. Configure the application.loginConfiguration.generateRefreshTokens setting via the API or enable the setting by navigating to the Application → My Application → Security tab.

refreshTokenId [String] Available since 1.37.0

When the refreshToken is returned in the response, this field will also be returned. This unique Id is the persistent identifier for this refresh token, and will not change even when using one-time use refresh tokens. This value may optionally be used to revoke the token using the Refresh Token API.

state [Object]

If state was provided during the passwordless login send request this value will be returned exactly as it was provided.
