I very much wish more people considered the various types of users and contexts that use their system. Many seem to be moving towards a "magic link" solution, which can be convenient but is also predicated on the user's phone or email which leaves users with a single point of failure and little additional protection or recourse if it is exploited.

While I understand the burden on organizations to protect user data, the user should have say as well. A one-size fits all solution almost always leaves users on the lower slopes of the bell curve vulnerable or frustrated.
