At @SubstackInc we default to login with email link and it seems to work well.
Passwords are a usability and security nightmare (though we do let you set one if you really want.)

@SubstackInc does a good job in this. I almost use this everytime. I remember@Ghost founder@JohnONolan mentioning the same on@IndieHackers podcast

I won't even bother with a site if I have to wait for their email to come to my email to login. I use a password manager. Magic email links are latency and annoying. I'll go to competitors.

Latency? Maybe it's time to leave AOL ;-)

"Practical men who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct [defaults and most obvious approaches]." Really, I look forward to the day that for both users and devs the best choice here is the easiest choice.

Maybe, but I absolutely hate sites that only support login via email

It doesn't have to be a username/password mechanism, but this process disruption by having to switch to the email app is unfortunate if done frequently. The real pet peeve, of course, is non-infinite log-in sessions. Biggest anti-pattern of the web.

I strongly dislike email link logins. It adds multiple steps and time to the login process, assumes persistent storage (tracking) to avoid the hassle, and forces me to login to Gmail and be tracked even more. It’s ultimately a poor UX and less secure hack for a password manager.

Yup. This is what
@fast is doing. Interesting to me that it's a full business instead of a feature but scale makes it interesting. Potential network effects too. -
What services are using Fast? I'm curious to try it out and see how it works.
