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

  If they don’t have email access, why is a password less magic link bad then?

    The tech “enthusiasts” of Lemmy are really showing their arses in here lol. They have a “I took 2 semesters of computer science so I’m somewhat of an expert” level of understanding and mentality.

    There’s a reason most big tech companies are starting to move to passwordless logins. If 2FA is the ultimate protection about unauthorised access, the password is ultimately irrelevant - and given all we know about password reuse and data breaches, getting rid of them is a good thing.

  If they’ve got your phone with your 2FA they’ve also got your email on your phone lol
