"Magic links instead of OTPs for passwordless auth. Overall, magic links are a few seconds faster than OTPs since there's no entry step."
I am willing to stipulate that magic links are better in this way.
That is, provided they are of reasonable length. Say, 32 characters or less beyond the domain name itself ?
You can't predict what device, or interface, or mail client one will receive these links on. You also can't predict how they will interface with the link (or resend or process it).
The 300+ character hash links I sometimes see are really lazy and clueless.
