You can still handle all those cases but just with three new buttons in the browser itself. Users would never have to find the login link buried in the footer or forget password only available after you fail a login. Web developers would implement where to go on each button click and unimplemented clicks on these three buttons would be like a 404 and considered broken.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoForgot password isn't enough, what if I forgot my login ID? But then it circles back to my point--what _is_ an identity? Would the button say 'forgot email'? But not every site uses email as principle ID... It gets even more complicated when I have multiple accounts. Who lets me pick what account I want to use? Is the site responsible for that, or does the browser now need a concept of storing multiple IDs (whatever they might be) and managing them? It gets extremely complicated extremely fast.
