Magical Days of the Week In many cultures and traditions, certain days of the week are considered to be more "magical" or auspicious than others.

While the specific magical days of the week may vary between cultures, there are some common themes and associations that can be found. **Monday** is often associated with the Moon and its feminine energy. It is believed to be a time of intuition, emotions, and psychic abilities. Many rituals and practices related to divination, dreamwork, and emotional healing are performed on Mondays.
Passwordless Magic Link Authentication: Explained
Passwords can pose serious risks to your network because of their biggest vulnerability: the need for user interaction at the time of authentication. Besides, they have the worst user experience for both users as well as the IT team.
Storing passwords and creating a unique one almost every two weeks is a time-consuming chore. Resetting lost passwords or retrieving accounts locked for using the wrong password too many times is a tedious task. Add to that the fact that passwords are easy to steal physically and over the air and that makes them the most unpopular form of authentication.
The risk involved with passwords is compelling most organizations to look at different passwordless authentication options. One of them is magic links, where instead of passwords, users authenticate through a link that is sent to their email.
Many rituals and practices related to divination, dreamwork, and emotional healing are performed on Mondays. **Tuesday** is associated with Mars, the planet of action and energy. It is considered a day of motivation, aggression, and courage.
What Is a Passwordless Magic Link?
Passwordless magic links authenticate users through a link instead of passwords. How this works is that at the time of authentication, the user is prompted to provide their email address, and a single-use URL is sent to their email address. The user will click the link to log in to an application.
The steps for magic link authentication are as follows:
- The user clicks the Send Magic Link option on the app onboarding or login page and types in their email address.
- If the email address is registered, the system sends an embedded magic link by email. To do so, it generates an authentication token unique to that user and embeds the token in the magic link URL.
- The user receives an embedded magic link in their email and clicks on the link to complete the authentication process.
- The system verifies the token and, if it is valid, returns the confirmation of authentication to complete the process.
One of the best examples of magic link authentication is the Slack login protocol, where a magic link is a part of the authentication process. Magic links are easy to implement and do not require additional hardware or completely new coding if you already use the “forgot password” link.
Each magic link is a one-time login authentication and is somewhat similar to the one-time password (OTP). The major difference, however, is that unlike OTP, where the user has to type in the password, in a magic link, the user does not have to input any information for authentication and is given access as long as the unique user token matches.
Magic links are most popularly used as one of the steps of multi-factor authentication or when a different device authentication protocol is already in place. It also is used for applications where authentication is not needed frequently.
Though an easy and less complicated passwordless authentication method, magic links are not considered the most secure option and are not always the most reliable.
The email with the magic link may sometimes take time to reach the user’s email address because of lag, or the user’s email provider may direct it to the spam folder, considering it spam.
They are also susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. However, possibly the biggest drawback with magic links is the assumption that the user has access to their email and it is not hacked or accessed by someone who is not authorized. A magic link on its own is not a very reliable authentication protocol, but its utility can be enhanced when used in conjunction with other auth protocols.
Some people may engage in activities that require physical strength or take on challenges on Tuesdays. **Wednesday** is linked to Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect. It is a day for learning, studying, and engaging in intellectual pursuits. Many people find this day ideal for writing, studying, and engaging in stimulating conversations. **Thursday** is associated with Jupiter, the planet of expansion and abundance. It is considered a day for growth, luck, and prosperity. On Thursdays, people may engage in practices related to wealth and success, such as abundance rituals or money spells. **Friday** is linked to Venus, the planet of love and beauty. It is considered a day of romance, harmony, and creativity. Many people find Fridays ideal for activities such as date nights, self-care, or engaging in artistic pursuits. **Saturday** is associated with Saturn, the planet of discipline and responsibility. It is considered a day for grounding, organization, and contemplation. Some people may use Saturdays to clean and declutter their homes, plan for the week ahead, or engage in spiritual practices. **Sunday** is linked to the Sun and its masculine energy. It is considered a day of vitality, leadership, and power. Many people find Sundays ideal for self-care, relaxation, and engaging in activities that bring joy and rejuvenation. While the significance of these magical days of the week may vary from person to person, they provide a framework for scheduling and planning activities according to the energies and qualities associated with each day. By aligning oneself with the energy of the day, individuals can enhance their own personal power and manifestation abilities..
