Password reset ~= Magic link. The risk profile of this is no different than a password reset with no fallbacks such as 2FA.

I had to google "~=" had no idea some languages use that for "not equals" instead of !=.

I've only found lua and MATLAB that use it but its interesting to understand. I was super confused on what you were trying to say.

I thought he meant "about equal" as I've always used tilde to me about/approximately.

Maybe he can clarify. I don't want to assume he meant "not equals" but thats what I found on google

I'm comparing passwords with an email reset vs magic links with no password in my comment.

Magic links will be more secure.
