That's true. Although pasting the code into the existing browser tab is a bit smoother in my workflow. And at least the form autofills properly when they ask for email and password.

I'd much prefer if they could just trust my password. But I know the unfortunate truth is that the majory of people just reuse a password across most sites. So these measures are intended to raise the baseline difficulty, not to improve the security of those with good habits.
