Clicking unsubscribe myself vs. forwarding an email and potentially exposing private data —> Is that the argument?
- MattGaiser 6y agoOne thing I would be worried about is that a lot of emails have auto login urls if you click a button. For example, if you get an email from Quora, you are auto logged into Quora from that link.
- ryanmjacobs 6y agoThat's a fair point. I didn't realize they embedded login links, unless you explicitly do something. For example with now.sh/Vercel: https://vercel.com/login?with-email=1 https://vercel.com/login?with-email=1 I'll probably create rules that sends a blacklist of emails to the trash and warns the user.
- sdfhbdf 6y agoDepends on the implementation, at $WORK we have similar mechanism but the links clicked in the email do what's called a partial login that gives basic access to some closed pages but still needs authentication to access or change account details. We have this exactly because people forward emails and such.
