We’re excited to announce that Listen Notes now supports Passkeys for a faster and more secure sign-in experience.
Passkeys let you sign in to Listen Notes with your device unlock, such as Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello, a phone screen lock, or a security key. They are easier than login links and more resistant to phishing. You can save them with tools such as Apple iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, or a FIDO2 security key. Learn more about passkeys.
Go to the Passkeys tab in your account settings:
https://www.listennotes.com/settings/#passkey
From there, you can add one or more passkeys to your account.
And when you log in next time, you can click the \"Continue with Passkey\" to use your passkey to log in.

We've completely revamped demo.PodcastAPI.com to better showcase the search capabilities of the Podcast API.
The demo site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages.
The entire source code for this demo is available on GitHub at ListenNotes/demo.podcastapi.com. We encourage you to fork the repo, experiment with the implementation, and use it as a foundation for your own projects.
