Sounds reasonable. However, the access to previous orders should be limited in time.
email addresses, like snail mail addresses do expire: what happens if the email address owner changes after the fact? Should you serve the recap and other snail mail addresses a long time after the deal is done and finished? Unless you have mandatory requirements (commercial law) to keep serving invoices/recaps, I'd recommend you seal those away when they aren't needed anymore (and protect them with a password).
Something "new" to consider, is how Chrome[0], FFx and company now "suggest" strong passwords when registering on a website. Using the email-OTP might be more cumbersome than using your phone's or PC's built-in password manager.
Less data to protect = easier to deal with.

- upgradeind 6y agoThanks for the insight about email addresses, I hadn't considered that. I know from personal experience that I usually get new addresses but rarely abandon old ones. I wonder if providing the option to use a phone number OR an email address to receive the code be a good fail safe?
- moviuro 6y agoI'd be less inclined to give my phone number to a random shop on the Internet myself. Regarding access to the old invoices, maybe ask for the zipcode instead of a password? (my local post service does that to track a parcel for example)
