Re: Concept of seamless registration

LunarDraco, thanks for feedback, but are you sure you are not overly
dramatic? What is the underlying danger? That users will learn to
follow links to access their accounts and then scammers get them?

I disclaimed in the very beginning, that you probably won't want to
implement a seamless registration for a bank account. But I find it
quite more suitable for a web-app that wants to lessen the barrier for
a first time user, who doesn't want to take time to create an account,
but still needs one to try the app. Also, according to the concept,
you, as a user, are not forced to use it if you were educated not to.

Also, when a user expects the link is not the same as when he
doesn't.
