| I absolutely hate it, can't understand how that's all they offer (or Google SSO). It's bad enough when the password option is just really hidden and non-obvious (like Notion iirc), not having it at all is ridiculous. I don't have that email account on my phone. So to log in, I have to open my laptop, get the 'magic' link, find a way to send it to myself on my phone that doesn't make a request (e.g. for an unfurl) expiring it, and then open it on my phone to log in. So magic. |

So basically you start login on phone, keep page open. Open laptop, click on link on laptop and you'll get a code. You type that code on your phone and that's all. | | |
| ▲ | OJFord a day ago | parent [-] | | Even if that's correct, I should not need to use a second device to log in because of some asinine decision not to have a password field. Solving problems that don't exist, and creating problems that don't need to. |

Serves both the clipboard usecase and as a general "notes to self" space. | | | |

| ▲ | OJFord an hour ago | parent [-] | | Probably won't surprise you if I say I despise passkeys, have none, and will not be doing that. |

| SSO logins don't work either. |

| Time to support passkey so we don't need to keep opening email to use a magic link? |
| |
| ▲ | EduardoBautista a day ago | parent [-] | | The thing is, they frequently ask for a passkey to avoid the magic link but after setting it up multiple times, I have never once been asked to use the passkey. |

| Especially awesome when they don't allow you to change your email address ever again. |

| ▲ | vbezhenar a day ago | parent [-] | | I requested Mythos access and was granted it. But now apparently I need to use Google Sign In on my account instead of email link, as email link is not secure enough. But my email is not google, it's my custom domain. Now I don't even know what to do. I don't want to buy google apps or whatever it's called just to be able to use Google SSO with my custom domain; and I don't want to register completely new account for gmail either. It's a mess. |

| > Isn't magic email login link only great? What a shambles. They just outsource the security into your email provider. |
| |
| ▲ | abyssin a day ago | parent [-] | | Isn't the email provider almost always one of the links of the security chain? Then, why not accept it and simplify the chain? | | |
| ▲ | nicce a day ago | parent [-] | | Usually it is the weakest link in the chain, and you are encouraged to switch to proper 2FA or Passkey instead. So even if the email is compromised, other accounts are not compromised. |
