Hah this blew up. tbf I meant instead of any Forgot Password or Send Authentication Code or whatever mess - if you can remember your password, do that to save more time. Still, the loop to hit up email is so fundamental now the rest are secondary options - these Magic Links should just be the primary base-level expectation. It's annoying when services don't even get this right though and return you to the site with either: - a new form to enter the one-time code they just sent (just put it in the link) - a new form to enter a new password (who cares, make that optional to the actual sign in, to save time next login) - (worst offense): they don't even actually sign you in after those forms and you have to re-enter everything Login should be "do you have an email address? Okay great you're in". Because there is nothing beyond that from a security perspective these days.
