Repeat after me: Separating username and password fields on separate (fucking responsive) page WILL NOT INCREASE A FUCKING SECURITY IN ANY WAY! IT WILL JUST MAKE THE PASSWORD MANAGERS TO WORK WORSE AND THUS IT WILL FUCKING DECREASE THE SECURITY!!!

@ondrej corollary: Enter your email *twice*. Because we can't trust users to do it right on the first attempt or something.

@jspath55 @ondrej I wonder how little that protects against people making a typo... (my gut feeling is that very little)

Nearly none, because most people do copy paste?

@phl @jspath55 @ondrej TBH, as someone who suggested this feature in something I support, watched it get implemented, and saw a whole category of support tickets just cease to be raised anymore - when dealing with the general public, yes, forcing them to enter their email address twice when creating an account does in fact make a difference.

@timixretroplays @jspath55 @ondrej That is interesting to hear!

@timixretroplays @phl @jspath55 @ondrej the amount of emails I get not for me at all tells me you’re right.

@jspath55 @ondrej

The only time I've ever typed my email address wrong on one of the "confirm your email address" pages is when I've made a typo on the second one because I am rolling my eyes too hard.

@jspath55 @ondrej whenever I'm not using a password manager to auto-fill these fields (i.e. it failed for some reason), then I'll just type it once & then copy & paste it for the second one
