Either by sending a code to SMS or Email, you are able to sign into your account without ever needing to or being able to add a password. Why has this become a thing recently?

Password reset?
But they don’t have access to your email in this instance.
If the thief has your email and password and phone then you’re SOL
If they’ve got your phone with your 2FA they’ve also got your email on your phone lol
If they don’t have email access, why is a passwordless magic link sent to an email bad then?
The tech “enthusiasts” of Lemmy are really showing their arses in here lol. They have a “I took 2 semesters of computer science so I’m somewhat of an expert” level of understanding and mentality.
There’s a reason most big tech companies are starting to move to passwordless logins. If 2FA is the ultimate protection about unauthorised access, the password is ultimately irrelevant - and given all we know about password reuse and data breaches, getting rid of them is a good thing.
