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.
I wouldn’t mind the separate pages for username / password if the “remember me on this device” checkbox weren’t fucking useless 99% of the time.
Oh yes.
That probably is not covered by the functional cookies that’s the maximum which I allow any site.
Is it ever not useless?
Microsoft:
Stay signed in?
Why isn’t the checkbox implied if I press Yes?
It’s useless for me too but I’m sure it’s Safari defaulting cookies to session only rather than the time range the website wants.
I’m fine with that, autofill takes care of it anyway.
