What is it with services now separating username and password fields?
What is it with services now separating username and password fields?
Back in the old times, on the sites I log in regularly, my browser filled in both username and password. I clicked "Log in" once, and I was set to go.
But no more. Now it's all first a username, then a password. From what I saw, Apple started this many years ago, but now this bother really spread. And it's not like I can just double-click on the same screen area, oh no. Animations make sure that I have to wait several hundred milliseconds before the password field is there, and depending on the site, I even have to select from my browser, which login I want to use, twice!
Why, oh why?
All my screens are really big enough to display 2 text fields. What are arguments for this behavior? I don't see any.

Companies lose money when their customers get complacent with security. This is one method to increase engagement with the log in process to minimize inattention. Obviously it goes counter to the opposite goal of reducing friction with the UI, they try to balance somewhere between both.
The biggest cause of data compromisation is the damned companies themselves, not the users

Name a breach caused by users and I can give you a dozen caused by company practises.

What exactly did you mean by this comment then?
Or the poor sardonic attempt in reply to me pointing out that data is compromised by companies, not users?
Suddenly it's a goalpost move when facts can be proven against your narrative? Pish.

.....are you ok? Your replies aren't making any logical sense.
