Introducing PersonQL: Passwordless Authentication Made Simple


Authentication is broken. Passwords are a security nightmare, traditional authentication systems are complex to implement, and users are tired of remembering dozens of passwords. That’s why we built PersonQL.

The Problem with Passwords

Password-based authentication has been the standard for decades, but it’s fundamentally flawed:

  • Security risks: Data breaches expose millions of passwords annually
  • User friction: Password resets are the #1 support issue for most apps
  • Development complexity: Implementing secure authentication takes weeks
  • Maintenance burden: Password storage, hashing, and rotation require constant vigilance

Enter PersonQL

PersonQL is a passwordless authentication platform that eliminates these problems entirely. Built on Cloudflare Workers and distributed across 275+ edge locations worldwide, PersonQL provides:

  • Anonymous authentication: Let users try your app without any signup
  • Email OTP: One-time passwords sent via email
  • Phone OTP: SMS-based verification for high-security flows
  • Google One Tap: Instant sign-in with Google accounts

Why Edge Computing?

By running on Cloudflare’s edge network, PersonQL delivers authentication with 47ms average response time globally. Your users in Tokyo get the same fast experience as users in New York.

Traditional authentication services run in a single region, adding latency for international users. PersonQL processes every request at the nearest data center, ensuring consistently low latency everywhere.

Getting Started

Integration takes less than 5 minutes:

// Install
npm install @personql/react

// Initialize
import { PersonQLProvider } from '@personql/react';

function App() {
  return (
    <PersonQLProvider apiKey="your-api-key">
      <YourApp />
    </PersonQLProvider>
  );
}

That’s it. You now have enterprise-grade authentication.

What’s Next?

We’re just getting started. Over the coming months, we’ll be adding:

  • Advanced MFA with TOTP and authenticator apps
  • WebAuthn support for biometric authentication
  • Custom authentication flows
  • Enhanced analytics and insights

Join us on this journey to make authentication simple, secure, and accessible to everyone.
