I hate this workflow. I need to copy-paste the URL from terminal to browser. Even if I used a webmail, I would need to constantly go there and search for a new mail every time I'm logging in instead of having the login form filled on my request.

You are doing this once per device, every n days, with n typically at least 90, possibly more. Your login form consists of a single field for your mail address which is autocompleted. I really do not see your point.

...with n being 2, and sometimes even 0.3. There are few services where I would want to stay logged in.
