Are Magic Links Outdated?
MagicLinks are a mobile nightmare. Mobile email clients use their own browser and cookie jar which consume the session cookie you&#x27;re trying to put into the user&#x27;s main browser. This results in users &#x27;never staying signed in&#x27; and a lot of frustration.<p>Sending a one-time code via email fixes this, and is in practice about as easy to use as a link on desktop.<p>In our app (Loomio) we default to magic&#x2F;codes, but let users use passwords if they prefer.
