Magic link only is the wirst kind of login systems. However, I don’t know any big real companies that use this.
If you don’t like passwords, just use passkeys.

Wasn’t passkeys basically “passwords, but Google has control of them”?

dont think so. what i gatherd passkeys is a public/private key scheme, much like pubkey auth in ssh logins.

Its still just a single factor if some body steals your private key.

Yes, buts it’s not something that can be easily guessed or found on a post it on the monitor

True dat. But if they compromise your computer the first thing the look for is key files.

Like my ssh keys are in a root permission file. Protected from general sight, but if somebody compromises my PC with a CVE on then goodbye keys.

At least with hardware key it is removable and requires a button press.

So accessing becomes physical access or quantum computer cracking
