It doesn't matter. Crap like this makes the web worse. We cannot keep catering to people who refuse to learn better practices.
If the industry got itself together enough to start teaching people good internet hygiene we'd all be much better off. But instead we strip away OK security for horrible security, and inconvenience nearly everyone in the process.
- smt88 4y agoMagic links are better security than most people's use of passwords. I can't count the number of people I know who reuse the same password on every site or just use terrible passwords. It took me years to get my dad and girlfriend on a password manager, and they're the only family I've succeeded with. It's the same with privacy. I could never get anyone to leave Gmail. You can't sell people on a major "inconvenience" by telling them about a hypothetical security breach. It's just not human nature. And even worse, the only good password manager that I've used is 1Password and it isn't free.
