Why Property Managers and Homeowners Abandon Password-Protected Portals

Asking a commercial facility director or busy homeowner to create a username, password, and 2FA profile just to approve a $14,850 rooftop heat-pump replacement or EV charger installation introduces massive conversion drop-off. Origin-bound SMS magic links combined with the W3C WebOTP API (`autocomplete="one-time-code"`) allow customers to authenticate in a single tap directly inside Safari or Chrome.

Synchronizing /portal Approvals with Technician /field Devices

As soon as the customer signs the HTML5 vector signature canvas and completes the 25% Stripe mobilization deposit on /portal, PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) triggers an instant state transition on the technician's /field checklist.
