Comment on Why do some website logins have the username and password entry on different pages?

Different domains need different authentication flows. If the provided email ends in a domain they recognize, instead of prompting for a password you’d be sent to another auth provider to authenticate there.

This is usually the right answer. In the past, logging in was a simple pipeline with no forks along the way. That’s why a simple username + password did the trick. Nowadays, logging in has become a complicated journey with several ways to get to the destination. Once the site knows your email, it knows what’s the next step in your case.
