Here's what Google said when they implemented it:
"Today, you sign in to Google on a page that includes both the ‘email’ and ‘password’ fields on the same page. We’ll be gradually splitting those two fields into separate pages in the coming days; the sign-in process won’t change otherwise.
As we’ve said many times, we're working towards introducing new authentication solutions that complement traditional passwords. We’ve already separated the ‘username’ and ‘password’ fields onto separate pages on a successful launch in Android last year. This change to our web sign-in page is another step in that direction.
To help make sign-in easier and more personal, you may see a screen with your profile picture and full name when signing in to Google. We’ll only show this information if you are signing in from a location or device you’ve signed in from before, like your home computer."
I have no opinions on it. At least, no positive opinions.
- sergiotapia 3y agoCrazy they just skip past the why. Why split it in the first place lol
- runjake 3y agoThey state why, albeit poorly worded and justified: > we're working towards introducing new authentication solutions that complement traditional passwords Anyway, terrible explanation on Google's part, IMHO.
