> 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.

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.
