Wait, what? So instead of entering a password a password is sent to me via text message or email with a temporary code, sort of like two-factor authentication without the two-factor?
So how do I login to my email account for example if I need to login first to my email and get the temporary password? It's a chicken and egg problem. I can't login to my email to get my temporary code, but I am trying to login to my email.
Somewhat flawed idea in theory, even more horrible in practice. I hope this doesn't become a real thing. I will refuse to use any site that implements this flawed passwordless solution.
