A tumblr post saying "i really like this thing where websites will have separate “log in” & “sign up” buttons and if you click “log in” it takes you to a sign-up screen anyway so you have to click “i already have an account” and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your facebook account or with instagram or linkedin or deviantart or whatever, and if you choose “username & password” it asks if you want to put in your username or use your thumbprint, and once you put your username & password it emails you a confirmation code, and once you put in the code it says “do you want to give us your phone number for future sign-ins? do you want to sign up for facial recognition? do you want to give us your bones? give us your fucking bones?”
its because of SSO. if your company signs up for something that implements SSO then the tool will need your mail, recognizes that you‘re from company X, and forward you to yoir companys login page so ot can get an auth token
Yes, this, but I don’t think just for organization’s login pages. The email may also lead to a google sign in (for example) or some other single sign on (SSO). The site you are on needs to know the email to decide what to show next to continue the log in process.
That said, web devs should be coding the fields correctly.
sure, the company was just used as an example for people who dont know the term SSO
Github doesn’t use two screen login but also still works with sso.
