请问HN:魔法链接是一种糟糕的用户体验,让人们的生活变得更糟。请说服我改变这个看法。
点击登录后,会收到一封电子邮件链接,但你必须先等待邮件送达(有时需要整整一分钟,有时你还得重新发送链接)。<p>有时链接会被归类为垃圾邮件,有时你得在其他通知中像大海捞针一样寻找它。<p>有时你在该设备上并未登录邮箱,或者屏幕太小,操作起来很麻烦。<p>也许是我母亲,她现在得去找她写下的邮箱密码,因为她还是搞不懂我为她设置的1Password。而且,她在这台电脑上没有1Password(可能是在公共图书馆)。<p>这一切的麻烦都是因为开发者不想麻烦身份验证。<p>如今,很多产品都是这样,但最糟糕的往往是开发工具和开源项目,似乎他们的理由就是,他们只是想满足某个特定功能的需求,为什么要在身份验证上费心呢,反正有谷歌。<p>我是不是疯了?

Click login, get sent an email link that you have to first wait to be delivered (sometimes takes a full minute, sometimes you have to resend the link).<p>Sometimes the link goes to spam, sometimes you have to search for it like a needle in a haystack of other notifications.<p>Sometimes you are not logged into your email on that device, or it's a small screen that makes it a pain.<p>Maybe it's my mother, and she now has to go find where she wrote down her email password because she still can't figure out that 1Password thing I setup for her. Also, she does not have 1Password on this computer (maybe it's a public library).<p>All this pain because a developer did not want to bother with authentication.<p>Many, many products are like this nowadays, but the worst offenders are developer tools and OSS projects, and looks like the justification is just that, they just wanted to scratch their itch of a specific feature, why bother with auth when there is google.<p>Am I crazy?
