This is a method of preparation for future authentication solutions,that reduce confusion among folks with multiple Google accounts.
Citing last year’s move to separate the username and password fields on the Android OS, the company said the new change to its website “is another step in that direction.”
“It does NOT ‘make sign in easier’ to have to enter information on TWO screens instead of one in order to get into a Gmail account,” one user wrote in the forum thread. “Instead, it wastes time which is something none of us have enough of!”
“There is absolutely nothing positive about this change,” another one wrote, adding that the new flow doesn’t improve any security “whatsoever.”
