RE: Smells like a phish, is a fish?

Hi

But email is sent over an unencrypted link, thus any body could get hold of the 
link, and by entering it, get access to the web site's details (the account).

Something should always be kept secret, when sending logon information via 
email.

So I don't think it is mitigating phishing, but possibly rather a way to track 
their responses to the email.

Or am I understanding your statement incorrectly?

Regards
  Anton

...
provide you with a key in the e-mail, rather than asking for a login
might actually be a way to mitigate phishing.
