@dansup @pixelfed Out of curiosity, what’s the purpose of websites asking for just an email first, rather than asking for email and password at the same time? I’ve noticed it more and more recently.

EighthLayer | Jamie, some definitely do it because of SSO, because depending on the domain of your email, you might not need a password. Others (Apple, looking at you) do it just because they hate their users. In my own opinion, this is never a good idea and even when someone uses SSO they could just be instructed to leave the password field blank. It's even worse when sessions expire (that's just my pet peeve that sessions should always live forever).

@EighthLayer @pixelfed We're going to add "magic link" support so you can login via email, we're also using it strategically for security reasons
