Preferred way of logging in

Question

Purely hypothetical: If I would be building a website for indie hackers/developers, what is your preferred way of logging in?

E-mail/password, magic link, Google, GitHub, other?

Leif Latiff · Accepted Answer

I prefer to stay on the same page. So username/password and/or Google/GitHub.

Cat Stickler · Answer

email/password or Google 

Magic link is probably the most secure, but I feel the rage of 1000 suns when I have to open a new tab and go to my email when it's not dedicated email time. I might be an outlier with that, though lol

Greg Raileanu · Answer

absolutely hate magic links ✨

Ben Katz · Answer

I usually have Google Login + Email (magic link)

That seems to satisfy most people. Depends on the product though, if I was building a developer tool I'd probably add GitHub login to the mix.

Martijn Smit · Answer

nope, same rage of a 1000 suns here too! 

I actively avoid products that only have a magic link. 🙃
