Using Passwordless Authentication

Get Started

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 changed?

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 11/13/22 will be defaulted to logging in with passwordless authentication.
• To update the default authentication settings, follow the instructions below.
