The issue is reproducible in incognito window only, and it is reproducible as long as passwordless is hidden behind a beta flag. As I can see in the video, the newly open tab which accesses the magic link, firstly shows the password form which means that passwordless is not enabled in that tab.

@cristipaval - thanks for the additional context! So since passwordless is behind a beta atm, is this actually considered a bug? If not, should we close this issue as it's beta-related?

[cristipaval]

yes, we can close it I think. I was wondering if it is worth having the issue for monitoring after making passwordless public for everyone but I don't see any value in this. So let's close it.
