Comment on Why have so many services started using single-factor passwordless authentication in the last little while?

They’re offloading authentication to your email provider. It’s basically quick and cheap oauth. I think it’s because they’re trying to avoid being a vector for a data breach.

The irony being that putting all of a user’s eggs in one basket makes things far riskier for the user, and not less.

  It makes a sloppy user safer but increases the demands on a safe user while increasing their attack surface.
