Static pages. Edge authentication.
A small demonstration of passwordless email-code sign-in for a fully statically generated Astro site.
How it works
Three steps, one protected destination.
Verify your email
If no valid session exists, the login page uses headless ClerkJS to send and verify a one-time email code.
Return authenticated
Clerk activates the session and returns you to the original URL. The edge check succeeds and the private page is served.
