@Manton @macgenie so now 10 sign in emails arrive about 15 minutes after trying to sign in .... please give us proper sign as this is too frustrating and happens regularly
Micro.blog
@Scotty Ugh, I’m really sorry to hear about that. I was initially skeptical about the sign-in process, but it has not been a problem for me. I switch back and forth between 5 different microblogs pretty regularly, and the emails come in instantly, regardless of the address. If it happens again, can you forward the email to help@micro.blog so we can try to troubleshoot? Or @manton may have other suggestions.
@trevorstinson Thanks for letting us know what you think. We are continually evaluating suggestions for changes. There are benefits to a login, for sure.
@trevorstinson @Scotty @macgenie I'll look into the email delays. There are other things we could do in addition to email (like push notifications) to improve the experience. Also, if there's a reason you are signing in often, maybe that's the root issue that we should address.
@manton I'm a big fan of push notifications for login! I have that set up on my own website right now! https://aaronparecki.com/2017/10/04/23/passwordless-logins #passwordless
@manton That last part was my thought too. I've had a hosted account here since the Kickstarter. I've signed in with the email one time for sure, maybe twice, three times at the very most.
@trevorstinson Thanks for the feedback. Email certainly isn't perfect, but I think the trade-off is worth it to avoid problems with passwords.
@manton I disagree on the trade off. I would much rather have password (and potential 2fa token). I receive the emails, but can’t click because email arrives on a different device than I want m.b on. Re-typing those links or copying them over ssh is way more cumbersome than password.
