I'd like to think I am pretty security conscious, but I still don't get the obsession with magic links (and passkeys). This is the one thing where I think I disagree with most of the industry. I thought forgetting passwords was a solved problem. I thought 2fa is much faster than searching for the last email for X provider the maybe takes 1 minute to arrive, requires retries and high tend up in spam? Some one please help me get on board.

Autofill of password manager creds is an attack vector.

Passkeys and email links prevent things like: clipboard interception, malicious iframes, fake login UIs, etc.

It depends how convenient it is for you to constantly be carrying devices that have 2fa software or the correct SIM card installed. I might prefer to simply access my email account, which I know how to do anywhere.
