Some time ago I was asked to implement an autologin feature (password-free login) on Vue Storefront 1, I’ll tell you how I did it partly to explain how authentication works in a headless frontend and partly in case some other legacy software hero has the same problem and wants the work already done.

Vue Storefront 1 was the first complete PWA released in the Magento open source landscape. I heard about it for the first time at the Reacticon conference in 2018, and I fell madly in love with it.

Do you only have a few minutes to install everything you need to have Shopware Pwa locally? Are you afraid of having to stay there all night? Don’t worry, here’s how to do everything in less than twenty minutes. Ready?
