Email a login link or temp pw. Passwords gone.

What if you are logging into something on a device that doesn't have your email on it? So called magic links are an absolute nightmare.

Maybe I'm missing something. You're just replacing the "password" by asking the user to login their email. It doesn't move us any closer to a "no password" world, unless there is also a proposal on how to make email password-less?

I share accounts (legally) with friends and my wife. How are we going to log in separately?

Forward the email ;-)

Or just add an extra email to the account

Forwarding the email is not a good solution. I don’t want to be checking emails at all times just because someone wants to login somewhere.

Adding an extra email account is not always possible. The option is not provided.

Ok...so on to more inconvenient methods? Medium tried it. A real drag.

How do you login to your email?

Magic text message with an 8-digit code. ;-)

For anyone thinking about it: Please don't make it happen.

Depends on how often you’ll be logging in and out though
