This is what I was thinking as well, but not necessarily email you a password because it's always some random crazy thing. More so remember the computer you clicked the email link from and either keep you logged in or you can log in with just your email from the computer you clicked the email link from. Sure there could be some security risks with your phone being stolen or a snooping SO, but most sites don't necessarily need to have that worry. For instance, commenting platforms like disqus, reddit, or your favorite news platform, or some site you'll probably only use once. With sites like this it doesn't matter much of other people gain access to it. It's not like your social platforms, LinkedIn, bank portal, government site, etc..
