Noticed this type of login on a site I use: A one time password send directly to email. Still deciding if I like it or not...

  It can be so damn annoying on android, When you mail client opens its own browser instead of the default. You close the screen to do something else comeback and have to login again.

    IIRC one can register a protocol handler so that the browser that you opened the site in will be the handler for the link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/registerProtocolHandler https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/r... Haven't tried it myself though

    I've built a similar system which sends the token for copying and a link for clicking. It also uses SMS if the user provides their phone number.

  Yeah, pretty annoying when you want to access a site on your iPad without any mail client configured. I ended up needing to use airdrop to send the login link to the iPad. Totally not user friendly in my case.
