Recently we switched away from social accounts (as Google started asking too many questions regarding who are our users and what do they use our app for etc.), we generate a unique login link and send it to user's email address. They can login by clicking the link.

And yes, users love it, remembering/resetting password is a mess, especially when dealing with non technical users. Users still have option for using password, but they often use signin with email.

Hi, do you have any stats to share ? What % of your users are using it ? What's your customer segments in term of age ? What industry ? And no, I'm not the police :D

That's exactly what the post's about. Can you elaborate a bit on whether or not your users like it better this way? 👀

Users like it, specially when they are not very tech savvy.
