The biggest pet peeve of mine in this area is "magic link" auth. Instead of letting you use a password and otp, which can be managed by a password manager, they send you an email so you can click a link to get into their app
That's right, you have to wait for an email to arrive, make it through the spam gauntlet, and then click the link in the email, likely covered in trackers, just to get into a website or app. And here I thought people wanted to keep you in their site as much as possible
