Modify flow to add Paste in Token as default #159

Closed mikker closed 11 months ago

Since building Passwordless I've changed my opinion slightly on what the best Passwordless sign in flow is.

Most of the time, I find it preferable to, instead of clicking a magic link, copy-paste a token directly. I prefer it because:

  1. It lets me stay in the current browser tab
  2. It's easier if I'm on a computer but I check my email on my phone

More than that, having it this way doesn't require removing the old way.

So that's where Passwordless is going.

Super BREAKING CHANGE but for the better.
