I dislike #passwords as much as any other nerd, but this is why I have a password manager. I like logging in with one click.
But the move to magic link by e-mail only is starting to grind my gears. Latest offender is @404mediaco who appear to have no way of logging in other than by magic link sent to your e-mail address.
Rather than logging in with one click, I now have to open another tab, log into my inbox, find the email, click the link and open yet another tab...

You have to enter your password using this *very* Frenchy keypad. You don't have lowercase letters, the blanks are not spaces but just non-clickable gaps, but as a compensation you have some weird symbols that your keyboard does not have a key for (e.g. `µ`).
No accessible version available.

Handing control of our biometric identities to a handful of trillion-dollar American gatekeeper corporations isn’t the good news you might think it is.
(Don’t forget, the W3C is the standards body of surveillance capitalism.)
In a non-corporate world, your “password” could be so much more… It could be, for example, a mnemonic for the key to a facet of your self that you (and you alone) own and control.
