Not only, as someone else pointed out, does the 2nd step of the login (eg, password) vary depending on WHO is logging on, it is theoretically possible that there is no 2nd step in some cases.
Maybe you have a USB dongle, and after entering your name or email, you are authenticated. Maybe the machine is trusted for any user who logs in, because it has a USB dongle. Or maybe only certain users, but more than one user is trusted associated with that USB dongle.
Or maybe if YOUR phone is detectable as near by, then you have no 2nd login step.
There are lots of arguments why putting the user ID and password onto a single form is just plain wrong. This isn't the 20th century anymore.
