I too like the magic links. I've been an advocate for them in our tech stack ever since the first one I used on Slack. Yes, it's a paradigm shift, but I don't think that's a reason to avoid using it.

My team is split on whether or not they are a good thing, but the main reason people usually give against magic links are it's too cumbersome to go find it in your email. Am I the only one who always has email open?

From an implementation standpoint has anyone seen a negative consequence of using magic links? I know password resets are always a portion of our customer service handling – is there an equivalent with magic links?
