Because my password manager is faster than checking mail. Because spam. Because people change mails and may forget to let you know. Because bots scan emails and they are mostly in clear text.
- jacquesm 9y ago> Because bots scan emails and they are mostly in clear text. If the password reset email goes through the same route then this doesn't matter. It's essentially a 'password reset' with every login. And because they are short lived you'd expect that if they had been used already that there would be no re-use possible, which would mean the attacker would have to be super fast and the victim would immediately know they were under attack.
- sametmax 9y agoNo you would mostly use it for phishing.
- Freak_NL 9y agoAlso because I don't necessarily use the same email address for each site.
