I love password based login

Also This strange trend to split username and password on to two separate pages, or only showing the password field after confirming the username
Not that strange. Different users may belong to different groups which may have different authentication bacends. The associated authentication method is brought up once a username has been provided.
Yes, but, it also lets them slurp up email addresses. Routing users is legit tho.

This reminds me of another annoying one, often related to these routing pages.

I type in my email, then it routes to “create an account”. Or WORSE it mimmicks the thing the OP is complaining aboit and says it sent me a verification email, then prompts me to make an account.

Like fucker, I have a dozen+ email addresses, if my email isn’t an account, just tell me so I can try a different one.
