Use case
Temporary email for magic link testing
Test passwordless login emails, one-time links, expired sessions, and staging authentication flows with clean temporary inboxes.
Magic links make login simple for users, but they create several QA paths: delivery timing, link routing, expiration, reused links, and session creation. TempMailito keeps each scenario isolated with a dedicated temporary inbox.
Magic link scenarios to test
- First-time passwordless signup.
- Returning user login.
- Expired magic link behavior.
- Reused magic link behavior.
- Second link invalidating the first link.
- Cross-device email link opening.
Recommended workflow
- Create one inbox for one magic link scenario.
- Request the login email from your app.
- Confirm sender, subject, and target environment.
- Open the link and verify session creation.
- Try expiration and reuse cases before closing the test.
Automation angle
With the TempMailito API, a browser test can create an inbox, request a magic link, read the email, extract the URL, and complete the login flow automatically.
