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.

Pro tip: leave the password field on the site but make it invisible. So when I am using my password manager to fill in the username, the password field will be filled out too. And I don't have to use my password manager twice for one login.

1Password actually is really good at handling these two step login screens, for me it always autofills the password correctly

So far Bitwarden has been doing great for me, too.

Are you using the auto-fill on page load? I heard that is a security risk.

For me I have to <> <>, <> <>

To login to these forms, and on mobile this means unlocking my vault twice (which happens to be a bit annoying bc my Face ID is broken)

[–] Plagiatus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I do not use auto fill, no.

But at least you should be able to unlock your vault once and then keep it unlocked for a few minutes so you don't need to double up. Maybe try the browser extension that you can get for Firefox (both desktop and mobile).

1Password is great, I just switched to it recently after the LastPass kerfuffle and the UX is lightyears better
