# Send Magic Link

> Generates and emails a one-time magic link to initiate authentication. This endpoint does not require authentication as it starts the login process.



## OpenAPI

````yaml POST /auth/send-magic-link
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: ClosedVPN API
  version: 1.1.0
  description: >
    API for managing authentication, organizations, members, VPN configurations,

    certificates and usage reporting for the ClosedVPN platform.


    The VPN capability previously delivered through the OneFirewall Application

    (`https://app.onefirewall.com/api/v1/vpn`) now runs on ClosedVPN and is
    served

    from `https://closedvpn.io`. The legacy OneFirewall VPN endpoints are
    deprecated

    and replaced by the operations documented here.


    Most endpoints require a Personal Access Token (PAT), sent as

    `Authorization: Bearer <pat>`. To obtain one, sign in through the magic link

    flow (`/auth/send-magic-link` then `/auth/verify-magic-link`, neither of
    which

    requires prior authentication) and then call `/auth/generate-pat`, or create
    the

    token from the Profile page in the web application. The plaintext token is
    shown

    only once and is stored as a bcrypt hash, so it cannot be recovered later.
