Also, they only work if I have an e-mail client on the device I'm trying to log in from. Otherwise having to transfer this link becomes a burden.

Additionally, even if I do have the e-mail on my device, clicking the link on mobile often opens it up inside some alternative web-view. Thus the session is tied to my e-mail client, not my actual browser.
