1) The problem → Having a password field adds extra steps and more friction to the signup process.
2) Why is this important → People easily create accounts by creating passwords later.
3) What's your plan B → They could use https://help.memberstack.com/en/articles/3930198-passwordless-signup-workaround to make it work.
4) Possible solutions we could build for you → Allow somebody to create an account, basically passwordless signup.

    Hey all 👋 Exciting news! This feature is officially in development and should be ready for production use in the near future. We still have some work to do in the dashboard and in the Webflow package before it's ready

    Magic links for existing users would also be very useful and may not require the same effort as password-less signup links.

    One important argument to introduce this feature: it significantly lowers the barier for people migrating from existing solutions to Memberstack. (no need to reset members passwords etc).

    Research required to fully estimate when this will be complete.
    Feedback, suggestions, and ideas are welcome.
