Here are some tips that will enable a better experience for you

Pro tip #1:

If you want to develop using the magic link functionality, I recommend you the Django Terminal E-mail Backend, which enables you to see all of the messages sent through the system.

Just add this one-liner to your settings.py:

EMAIL_BACKEND = "django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend"

Pro tip #2:

To override with custom e-mail templates, override the files: emails/magiclogin.html and emails/magiclogin.txt
