Services, which use this kind of login do not work for me.
First: email is not a reliable way of communication. Emails can be delayed. That means, a service using this method has lost me before I even had a chance to look into the details of the service.
Second: my email is deliberately delayed for services who contact me first. It is called Greylisting and still to theses days it works great as a spam protection without consulting and relying on some (dubious) blacklist providers. That comes back to the first point. A service using this kind of on-boarding has lost me before I even had a chance to look at it.
- madjam002 9y agoHow does this work when you sign up to a new service and they send an email confirmation to verify your email? Surely it’s a similar situation?
- PinguTS 9y agoMany services require email confirmation, that is right. But this is not required immediately. I can do this hours later. Some services even allow it to do days later.
- stephenr 9y agoEven in the case of a long delay - this is a one-off event, as opposed to login which could be a daily occurrence.
- wand3r 9y agoI dont really understand the premise of greylisting. Don't you just still recieve the spam but later than intended by the sender?
