Ask HN: What ratio of users choose a “magic link” to log in?

3 pointsby bckmnabout 7 years ago
I&#x27;ve been seeing more and more usage of the &quot;magic link&quot; (submit email address, receive tokenized URL in an email, click link to sign in) pattern in web _and_ mobile apps.<p>I, myself, tend to favor it. I&#x27;m skeptical of the general public&#x27;s acceptance, though.<p>For those of you building apps with both options, what numbers are you seeing around its adoption?<p>Thanks!

&quot;submit email address, receive tokenized URL in an email&quot;<p>... is a known-vulnerable antipattern, because email normally exposes that token to third parties.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goironbox.com&#x2F;why-email-is-not-secure&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goironbox.com&#x2F;why-email-is-not-secure&#x2F;</a>

Instagram asked for my phone number and permission to read texts so it could connect(and read all my text).
