I see this more and more lately: go to log in to some site, and they only show the username field. Enter username, click Submit, then a password field appears. Enter password, click Submit again, and then we’re logged in.
This makes using a password manager super annoying, because I have to trigger the autofill twice.
Is there some security-related reason more sites are doing this? Is it an anti-bot thing? I’m just really curious, because it seems so pointless on its face, but it seems to be spreading.
Ah yeah, this makes sense.
I have seen other services include an explicit SSO link under the user/pass form, which IMO is clearer what’s actually going on, but I’m sure that structure hopelessly confuses lots of less technical users, too.
