How do magic links work?

Magic links offer a secure and intuitive authentication method by sending users a unique link via email. Upon clicking the link, users are redirected to the application's endpoint for token verification and sign-in, eliminating the need for passwords.

Am I missing something? So if someone hacks my email they now have access to all of my accounts? No thanks.

Plenty of auth implementations that do stuff like this already, and like the other person said, if your email is compromised, you're already fucked.
