UX question about login page community.splunk.com

[inventsekar]

Hi All, one question related to community.splunk.com login page.. 

so on the login page, we get username textbox, after entering and then enter key or tab key, then only the password textbox appears. 

i would like to understand why this design please. is it related to some security things? is it "too much" safe and secure from providing a simple username and password textbox together visible. 

may i know some info please. thanks.

Yes, definitely a security tactic.

CrowdStrike, Banking, other sites I have seen this on recently to name few.

Designed to slow down attackers (not make site a SOFT target to automated password probing using accounts / passwords harvested and/or probably obtained on darkweb.

Separating the logins; also break most password safe autologins, saved credentials in browsers (I think too).  This allow site to also inject additional steps as going to a 2 or 3 step login

username/mobile, then maybe duo/2-step/google authenticator, then password or vise versa before login.

Too many people use the same passwords across multiple websites.   The lesser than determined will choose softer targets.
