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.

    The biggest cause of data compromisation is the damned companies themselves, not the users

          Why are you moving the goalposts? There wasn’t the single mention of a breach in what I replied to.

            Companies lose money when their customers get complacent with security.

            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.

              Man, I sure wish I had the superpower of making up quotes when arguing too.

                  Nice way to triple down on your mistake.

                  Don’t worry, one day you’ll grow up, and won’t have to fallback on trying to insult people.

                  Good luck on your endeavors, and try not to choke on a crayon in the meantime!
