So I have to log into my email to avoid logging into the site? Isn't that the exact same thing, yet now I have to include a few extra steps in between?

- chustar 14y agoThe thing is I'd log into my email anyway to check for new messages.
- numbsafari 14y agoIf it is the kind of site for which you are willing to keep a cookie around, then you'll only have to get a new link from your email whenever your cookie expires or if you explicitly log out. Otherwise, you are correct.
- jkubicek 14y agoAnecdotally, everyone always has their email open anyway (I do, everyone I work with does, my family aways does), so the extra step of checking your email is trivial.
- laserDinosaur 14y agoUnless you use a different account for junk websites than you do your day to day email. I have my work email open all day, but not my personal email, which is also different to my spam email account I use for trials or junk websites. If I need to have 3-4 different email accounts open just to manage my sessions, I could see this being a massive pain. Also if I sign up using my work email to a work related service (so I can use it at work), I might not have access to it at home.
