Every time I see magic links, I always think: "I thought we weren't supposed to click links in emails in the first place?".
When links in email come into mind, so does phishing.
I hate these magic links a lot.

The point is not to click suspicious links. If you know a magic link was sent, it's not suspicious.
That being said, I hate them just for the delay.
Click that stupid magic link for a service we use, and they’re asked for their Office 365 credentials… all the while I’m telling them not to click links in emails.

Otherwise it's been a while I haven't seen an reset link instead of a reset code. Copy/pasting is not much of a hassle, and it works even if the mail is checked on a different device.
The only real link I had to deal with were app callbacks that were explicitly labeled as such (with instructions from the app to explain what to expect)
apple's email privacy scheme seems interesting (apple always loads all images), but I don't know if there are drawbacks.
