allears62··on Emailing a one-time code is worse than passwords
My main frustration with this sort of system, beyond the security risks is the terrible UX of a system like Spotify.

I appreciate most people log in and stay logged in but I frequently switch Spotify accounts and I use passwords to log in, instead of letting me choose password or a 6 digit code, every time I try and change account a needless 6 digit code is generated and sent to a shared inbox, a huge waste of resources and storage. In addition to being a security concern as flagged throughout this thread.

allears62··on Show HN: Dress Circle – IMDB for UK Theatre
I also work in this space, mostly on websites for theatres, including lots on OP's list. Very cool to see this project

Such a backwards industry sometimes, although change is slowly coming at least in Box Office/CRM APIs for individual theatres.
