My preferred workflow as well, but now many websites are starting to do this thing where you have to enter only your username, hit next, and then the password input shows up; however, the username only input breaks my password manager from trying to autofill! Argh
HomeDepot’s is even crazier. You input just your email and hit Next. Then a button appears to “Send magic link” to login via that annoying method. And then there is a tiny text below: “Want to use a different login method? Wait 10s…9s…8s…”. Only after 10s are you able to select a tiny text link “Use Password” to unlock using the password field
FYI Home Depot supports passkeys which are a significantly better* sign-in user experience than magic links.
*faster + easier (fewer steps)
Oh nice, thanks, just set this up! Though seems like I needed to do enable it separately for the web version and iOS app.
Google has been doing this for years, if not over a decade at this point. Password managers have gotten wise about it though, so for some websites it actually works.
