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.
Because new signups are more valuable than existing users.
That, plus the majority of users seeing the login screen are probably new. At least, unless it’s one of those annoying sites that makes you log in every single time.
Oh how much I hate it. I want to log in once in my lifetime. You can log me out when I die.

It’s more security than privacy, no?
