Somehow PieFed is she to make them work but simultaneously many companies are shifting to “magic links” sent to your email. 😡

Yep… It’s as secure as your email. Or they are just leveraging the passkeys on the emails.

I’m not really concerned about the security of it. Moreso the inconvenience of having to open my email client, specifically on the same device, and then sit there and click the refresh button over and over, waiting for it to come through, and then having to go back and delete it after so there’s not even more clutter in my inbox…

Honestly, convenience is security (change-my-mind lol) insofar as it measurably impacts rate of user adoption/adherence and thus outcomes.
It’s the annoyance you describe that leads most users to forego opt-in 2FA until it’s forced on them, for example.
Device-based PassKeys are the only near-universal mass-adoptable solution to that problem of convenience that I’ve heard proposed so far, although implementation has lagged until very recently.

Not at all. Typically they’re opposites. But I understand what you’re trying to say. More convenience leads to better security.
