And yeah its a little more tedious if the site doesn't have a long session time.
- ydant 15y agoThat's why I like using it in conjunction with passwords. The forget password link just provides an auto-auth one-time use link that suggests (but doesn't force) the user create their new password. In theory, you could just continue to click "Forgot password" every time you need to log in, indefinitely. Some sites that offer this sort of functionality, that's what I do. What I hate is when the forgot password link FORCES you to change your password. If there's a forgot password link that lets me log in easily via email, then I see no reason to be forced to change my password.
