> don't have a form with just a login email and force the user to click to enter the password

I was noticing that this kind of login forms seems to be proliferating, especially on "big tech" sites. (And personally, I also find it annoying)

Always assumed there was some reason why sites are switching to this pattern, e.g. better bot protection. Does anyone know more about this?

I suspect they ask for email first in order to determine whether to log you in via SSO vs. require a password.
