Case Study: Chessly enhances user experience and reduces auth workload with Stytch

Optimized their user (and developer) experience with simple one-click logins

Chessly, an online chess learning platform, needed a flexible and secure authentication solution that could offer both passwordless and traditional login options to create a frictionless user experience. As a small, self-funded startup, they wanted to avoid the complexity and resource drain of building and maintaining their own auth system, so they turned to Stytch for its suite of authentication products.

By implementing Stytch, Chessly gained access to a variety of integrated login methods including Email Magic Links, OAuth, Passwords, and One-Time Passcodes. This allowed them to easily adapt to user preferences, leading to improved conversion and retention. The solution freed their small development team from managing auth-related support tickets, saving them significant time and resources and enabling them to focus on core product development and innovation.
