Control of any email address collapses down to a single factor for authentication. Do better.

Truth is, you email inbox is the single point of failure, but abstracting from it, I see nothing wrong with ditching passwords in such case

They don't let you set a password.

You speak my mind. Every single one of these companies messing up login with stupid ideas need to be kicked in their CEO.
