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 login flow has nothing whatsoever to do with enshitification. Websites have used it before that term was coined. As others have said, it’s basically because they use your username to check what login page to send you to.
