Nothing tempts me so strongly to give up and leave a site than needing to use a magic link to get in.

Sometimes it takes minutes. I have, on more than one occasion, given up on buying a product because of this. It's actually insane to me how much effort sites put into preventing users from using them.

I get it, most people are idiots with completely non-existent security hygiene, but man does it suck being punished because of just how low the common denominator is here.
