Use magic links for login

Drop passwords.
Use magic links.

This should probably be added as an optional feature to emby, both local logins and emby connect logins.

 

Edit: if you want to see this magic in action, hubs.mozilla.com is currently using it.

Hi, generally, i like the idea of dropping passwords. Curious, why would we choose magic link over other options?

[hrehuhasdf 5]

I ran into this while using mozilla hubs and thought it was innovative.

Don't know what else is out or if there are any other better options.

Ok, yes it looks interesting. Definitely an option to consider when we look at this at a multi-platform level. Thanks for the feedback.

Where a feature like this would really shine is on the TV apps. Logging into those with a password are generally quite cumbersome.
