Notion uses magic links only for their login and it's aggravating. It may be nice for some users, but using my password manager's autofill is much faster than going to my inbox and clicking a link.

I think Medium does this too (unless you want to log in with your social account, which I don't like for privacy reason) and it really annoys me.

I don't mind Notion's OTP, the token last for a while.

I have used one site which combined magic links with normal login, and it worked excellently... unfortunately I can't remember what the website was.

If you remembered your password, you could login normally. If not, they would email you the 'forgot password' link, but there was no requirement to set a new password! I only logged in once every few months and could never remember the password, so for me just using it as a magic link system worked well, but frequent users would not be inconvenienced by it since they could use the normal login process.

In my opinion this is the perfect one. Everyone who wants to use a PM (like me) can use that and any users not using a PM can get the magic link.

>I also really like the "go to this website on your computer and enter this code" for logging in to Apple TV, Chromecast, etc so you aren't typing a 30 character password on a TV remote.

I hate this with a passion. I'm all comfy in my chair, ready to watch something, and I get the message that I have to get up and go to my computer and do stuff when all I want to do is watch TV. So I watch something else that doesn't require a computer to watch on TV.

Have you considered using your smartphone, which is right next to you and already configured with your email and a web browser? That was probably the intended use case anyways.

My smartphone is not right next to me unless I'm outside the house. It remains in one place in my home (on my desk). Diff'rent strokes.

Medium does this for me. I created an account with email. I don't have a medium password. I have to request a magic link any time I'm accessing the site after clearing cookies/accessing from a new device.
