Password
Our login system does not use passwords, instead it sends a random code to your e-mail address that allows you to login. The code is only valid for 10 minutes, and it can only be used once. It would take many thousand years to crack the code, and the system has several ways of preventing cracking attempts. So it is virtually impossible to crack the code.
The only risk is if your e-mail account has been hacked, or if your e-mail server is not properly secured. But this would also be a security risk for password-based systems, because they also send you an e-mail when you have forgotten your password.
Furthermore, some people use the same passwords on many web-sites, so if one web-site gets hacked, the passwords can sometimes be used to hack those users' accounts on other web-sites as well.
Altogether our login system is just as safe – if not safer – than traditional login systems that use passwords.
