A lot of services these days support multiple forms of authentication. Did you sign up with a separate password? Did you use Google or Facebook auth? Is this a corporate account where auth is via their SSO? They don't even know whether they should ask for your password until they know who you are.
That’s the best explanation I heard so far.
As someone who just built one of these, that is the exact reason we did it.
It would be cool if users just remembered which service they used to sign in, but they often don't, so this is the next best thing. Tell us your email, we look up which service you used, then send you to that service to complete the login.
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)
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
