> I don't know most of my passwords; relying on 1Password to access the strings of garbage I autogenerate. This is more likely normal behavior than abnormal. The number of sites a person uses likely increases the chances they don't actually know most of their passwords. The default "flow" becomes "password reset and recovery", which makes most services about a secure as the system being used for recovery if the password is reset. It's important to understand the value of the data or service being "protected" by authentication. Banks should probably continue using passwords. Bookmarking sites, or things like Discord can get away with token logins. This eases the burden on the user. Gmail leaves me logged in for long periods of time once I've authenticated on a given machine/browser. This is also a form of "autocompletion" in a way, allowing me to access sensitive data (my email) without having to re-authenticate with a password (by using a stored cookie). Anything using my email for password recovery is susceptible to being attacked through my persistent session, but then again I do a pretty decent job of retaining possession of my laptop physically. By using email tokens to log in to a site, instead of resetting a password that will likely be forgotten, one could just skip straight to logging in the user with the one time tokens, which are as secure as the system being used for transmitting the token.
