Comment on Logging In Was Never Supposed to Be This Complicated
XLE@piefed.social 2 weeks agoThere are so many downsides to this method compared to a password manager too. There’s no encryption, email itself is a minefield when it comes to decent security practices, and I’ve often been stuck waiting for a login link to arrive before I can actually use whatever I was trying to manage.

It is literally insane. The codes/links usually only work for 10-15 minutes. If the mail fails the RFC 5321 recommends a retry interval of at least 30 minutes (for up to 4 to 5 days).
