I need to load a second page to enter my password in some sites. Why is this? I even have a site I use that has the username, password and 2FA entries on separate pages that each need to be loaded one after the other.

My uneducated guess is that it makes it harder for bots, but I can’t imagine it being that much of an impedance 🤷‍

Cheers!

    This is called an identity first workflow and is used specifically so that they can route different people to different login ceremonies or providers.

    They get your id first, and use that id to determine what your login ceremony is. Perhaps you’re with a business that they have an sso integration with and will send you on to your businesses sso provider, or perhaps you’re a local user for them and get a password screen next.
