Disclaimer: I loathe this pattern & hope something like WebAuthn prevails instead.
That said, if folks are going to adopt this as a primary flow, perhaps email clients need to build in support. For OS providers like Apple, maybe this means less emphasis on the easy Passkey method and more on fixing the finicky email login flow that sites use instead?
What would a good email login flow look like? What is the "password manager" equivalent in a magic link world? On something like iOS or MacOS with Safari, could the browser/app & email client communicate to make the login seamless (after the email delay)?
Are new OS-level APIs needed for native apps such that they don't require switching apps to login? (This is a truly awful workflow.)
Should sites stop making people register with passwords at all? What is the point of passwords when auth is primarily handled through magic links?
- archerx 2y agoA good email login flow is where I put my email and then my password then click login. Anything else is pure wankery
