Experiences with email-based login

It is interesting to see that I am not the only one who has a problem with email logins. I find email logins make everything much more complicated than simple password-based authentication. I use a password manager both on the computer in the browser and on my smartphone and can easily have complex passwords filled in automatically.

I found it annoying to use myself:

Go to arp242.goatcounter.com

Enter my email.

Go to FastMail.

Wait 10 seconds to 5 minutes for the email to arrive.

Click the link, opening a new logged-in goatcounter tab.

Close the old goatcounter tab where I filled in my email and FastMail tab.
