> passwordless-based authentication like 404media (you want to sign in? You've been emailed a code)
How is this low friction to manually copy/paste a code from email as opposed to allow a password manager to log me in automatically?! This kind of authentication is the stupid current trend I hate the most TBH.
> > HN is going to skew towards people with password managers
Towards people with password managers, or towards people who want to have the freedom to choose how they log in? I also hate those damn login emails.
But everyone has a password manager now. They come builtin to all major browsers, Apple ecosystem, etc. My non-technical girlfriend uses one.
Yeah, and I support anything that makes security by default easier. I'd love to see adoption numbers for in-browser password managers, though, because I feel it's not very high yet.
