When using magic links, you can still support the common UX polish of letting a user log in on a different browser/device.
If the user opens the magic link in the same browser that initiated the email, then just log them in. Otherwise, present them with the Apple-style "Do you want to authorize a login from 1.2.3.4 using Firefox on iOS possibly located in Portland, Maine? [Authorize] or [Reject]".
