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.

    1Password actually is really good at handling these two step login screens, for me it always autofills the password correctly

        Are you using the auto-fill on page load? I heard that is a security risk.

        For me I have to <> <>, <> <>

        To login to these forms, and on mobile this means unlocking my vault twice (which happens to be a bit annoying bc my Face ID is broken)

          I do not use auto fill, no.

          But at least you should be able to unlock your vault once and then keep it unlocked for a few minutes so you don’t need to double up. Maybe try the browser extension that you can get for Firefox (both desktop and mobile).

      1Password is great, I just switched to it recently after the LastPass kerfuffle and the UX is lightyears better
