monday.com adds email one-time password login for faster access

A small login change at monday.com was aimed at one of software’s most familiar bottlenecks: the password reset loop. On April 12, the company added email one-time password login, letting users receive a code by email and sign in securely without creating, remembering or resetting a password for that flow.

The timing mattered because monday.com is no longer a niche project-management tool. The company said more than 250,000 customers worldwide use its platform, and its investor relations page said it had 4,281 customers with more than $50,000 in annual recurring revenue and 3,155 employees as of December 31, 2025. In its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, monday.com said revenue reached $333.9 million in the quarter, up 25% from a year earlier, and said customers above the $50,000 ARR mark accounted for 41% of total ARR.

That scale helps explain why even a modest authentication update can carry outsized day-to-day impact. The new option is likely to matter most for contractors, occasional users and other people who do not want yet another long-lived password to manage. It also has the potential to cut down on the ordinary friction that lands on support teams when people cannot get into their accounts.

monday.com’s own help center points to that burden. The company maintains separate support articles for creating a password login, resetting a forgotten password and troubleshooting login problems, a sign that access issues remain a routine part of the user experience. Moving some users to a one-time password flow may reduce those touchpoints, especially for accounts that do not need a permanent password as part of their normal use.

The update also fits monday.com’s broader product direction. The company has been leaning hard into AI and enterprise growth, and it has described monday vibe as the fastest product to pass $1 million in ARR in company history. Against that backdrop, the new login option is a reminder that adoption still turns on basic usability. A faster first sign-in can matter as much as a flashier feature when the goal is to get more people using the platform with less friction.

Security remains part of the tradeoff. monday.com’s trust center says the platform supports password login, Google SSO on Pro and Enterprise plans, and Okta, OneLogin, Azure AD and custom SAML 2.0 on Enterprise plans. It also says 2FA is available on all plans through an authenticator app or SMS, while passwords are hashed and salted, and data is protected in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256.
