i really hate websites that force you to use "magic links" to login. i understand that handling passwords is annoying, but c'mon guys, at least give me the option to use my password manager. don't make me open my email client for every little transaction i need to make

@zonk it's a good option imo, a good OPTION, don't force me to use that

it's even better when it takes a good 5 minutes for the email to arrive too. im trying to apply for this job NOW, not in 15 minutes when im already midway through another application

@sun @zonk on more than one occasion I just did not sign up to a website I really wanted to because their stupid confirmation e-mail just never arrived. A special kind of retarded is the facebook app that says an e-mail with a code will arrive and then it waits for a code from your TOTP password manager (saying it's from e-mail on the form). like hello. how much worse can you make this UX.

@piggo @zonk I recently had to deal with a Chinese airline website and it made you do round trips for everything and half the time the emails didn't arrive.

@sun @piggo the craziest authentication method ive seen was on an indian hotel website that forced you to get a whatsapp code. that was the only way to confirm your identity
but the granddaddy of all annoying authentication methods is usps: signing up for informed delivery via getting a code in the snail mail and entering it on their website
