Ask HN: 'Facebook's One-Click-Login' email and security implications

1 pointsby redindian75about 7 years ago
If you dont engage with Facebook for x number of days, Facebook sends an email with one-click-login URL which directly logs you into your FB account.<p>What do folks feel about the security &amp; technology behind it? Has anyone tried &#x27;one-click&#x27; checkouts&#x2F;payments&#x2F;account access by just sending custom-URLs? (Amazon&#x27;s OneClick is done after an authenticated session, not before)<p>So I assume this is secured by &quot;email-address-authenticated&quot; delivery. As in, if you can open your email&#x2F;text, then it is you.
