# Magic Link
## What is a Magic Link?
A **Magic Link** is a password-free login method where a user clicks a **unique, Time-sensitive link** sent to their email to log in instantly.
Within **Pocket HRMS**, it allows you to give a specific consultant temporary access to your HR portal **(Cloud or ESS)** while keeping your data protected.
**‘Magic Link’** gives you more control, transparency, and security when granting access to your Cloud or ESS portal for troubleshooting and support.
## Why Magic Link?
* Ensures compliance with the **Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023**
