Implementasi Passwordless Authentication pada Website Berbasis NoSQL MongoDB

ABSTRACT

Authentication is the entrance to access the features of a web application. Authentication using a username and password is the most common type of authentication today, because it is easy to implement and doesn’t cost much. However, the use of password might makes user uncomfortable because they need to create and remember passwords. Passwordless authentication can be an alternative authentication to identify users without using password. Passwordless authentication is expected to make users more comfortable because there is no need to create or remember passwords which is a hassle to them or even for system administrators at once. This research is applied research and using Waterfall SDLC as the development methodology. Passwordless authentication will be implemented on the website with the OTP authentication method via email, as well as the implementation of persistent login and remote logout features on the authentication system. This web application will also implement the MongoDB NoSQL database which is claimed to be better than a traditional relational database. The results of this study indicate that the system created can authenticate users to log into their accounts without using a password and can perform data transactions with the NoSQL MongoDB database. Authentication without using a password increases the security and convenience of users in using the website.
