Two-Page Login Frustration

I am so tired of the two-page login process. PUT USERNAME AND PASSWORD ON THE SAME PAGE Welcome back Email address Continue Don’t have an account? Sign up OR Continue with Google Continue with Microsoft Account Continue with Apple Multiple reasons, but the most important is security. If your HTTPS traffic is compromised it effectively puts your login in one request that’s readable plaintext.

A social media post complains about login systems that split the username and password into separate pages, showing a login form that asks for an email first. A reply explains that the separation improves security because compromised HTTPS traffic would otherwise expose the entire login in one readable request. The joke is the frustrated user’s simple convenience request being answered with an overly technical security explanation.
