Time to support passkey so we don't need to keep opening email to use a magic link?

SSO logins don't work either.

I absolutely hate it, can't understand how that's all they offer (or Google SSO). It's bad enough when the password option is just really hidden and non-obvious (like Notion iirc), not having it at all is ridiculous.
I don't have that email account on my phone. So to log in, I have to open my laptop, get the magic link, find a way to send it to myself on my phone that doesn't make a request (e.g. for an unfurl), and then open it on my phone. Absurd.

There are a number of clipboard sync apps, but personally I swear by simply having an E2E encrypted chat app on both your desktop and phone that lets you send messages to yourself. Serves both the clipboard usecase and as a general "notes to self" space.

If you open login form and link on different devices, you'll get code to type, no need to send link.
So basically you start login on phone, keep page open. Open laptop, click on link on laptop and you'll get a code. You type that code on your phone and that's all.

Especially awesome when they don't allow you to change your email address ever again.

I requested Mythos access and was granted it. But now apparently I need to use Google Sign In on my account instead of email link, as email link is not secure enough. But my email is not google, it's my custom domain. Now I don't even know what to do. I don't want to buy google apps or whatever it's called just to be able to use Google SSO with my custom domain; and I don't want to register completely new account for gmail either. It's a mess.

They just outsource the security into your email provider.

Usually it is the weakest link in the chain, and you are encouraged to switch to proper 2FA or Passkey instead. So even if the email is compromised, other accounts are not compromised.
