What is it with services now separating username and password fields?
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.

As tech gets progressively faster we must find ways to make software slower and less usable otherwise it would be too convenient /s
Your cynicism is not only unhelpful but also inaccurate.
I'm sorry my sarcasm was lost on you
Thanks for the apology! It can be difficult to convey tone over text.
You may be surprised to hear that lots of people actually believe the position you were sarcastically presenting! Glad you're not one of them.
