About the new email sign in flow

Continuing the discussion from Email Sign-In Flow:

The simplifies the sign in process

May I ask how does this exactly simplify the login with email? I’m very curious why the password option was removed. Was 2FA more difficult to implement than much more insecure email links? Also, I believe email aliases for each servise is a much more secure login option, than using a single provider everywhere

Did you already see this thread?
Maybe enter your thoughts there to keep it in one thread

Please don't force us to log in using Apple/Google or "magic links"

The sign in flow will keep the standard email form while we continue to evaluate this change. The support post was just a heads up, but it hasn’t actually been changed yet. What is this “magic” sign in? We previously had a “magic link” which can email you a sign in link. Basically a quick way of signing in if you don’t know your password. This new update adds a “magic code” which emails a code you can copy and paste into the website. This flow is especially nice for apps (Trakt and 3rd party) …

But yeah I agree. Magic links or codes e-mailed without needing a password is bad.
