Building multi-step login forms that work well with password managers

I understand it's fashionable to disable password login and instead force people to retrieve one-time passwords from their mailbox. This works better if you first verify that you can actually deliver #email to your users. (Totally random thought definitely not inspired by real events.)

Got this email and thought, "Ha that is a scam. There is no way that the real Paypal would provide a link to update to login and card details!" 🤣
I mean they are a well known entity, with a well known domain, they can just tell you to do it. It's not like you don't know the URL.
But no, that is exactly what they have done. 🤯
P.S. Paypal, yes I know but sometimes it is the only way to pay. 😢

When I attempt to login to elk.mstdn.ca, I get a 502 error. (see screenshot attached). So for the past couple of months, I have been unable to access Elk on my Win 11 Desktop.
However I WAS able to continue to access Elk on my Macbook Pro laptop until a couple of weeks ago, but now I get the same error there.
When I investigate this at cloudflare, I am advised:
There are two possible causes:
 502/504 errors from your origin web server (most common).
I also have noticed that my security program, BitDefender has notified me of this several times:
firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an unmatching security certificate to cdn.signalayer.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since the used certificate was issued for a different web address than the targeted one
Is this possibly related to my difficulties?
I have attached a screenshot of the CloudFlare error
I would very much appreciate any assistance or advice anyone can provide.

Ah yes. Let's use atalassian for research so that now we need to login every fucking year of the rest of our life otherwise it gets permanently deleted. What a wonderful idea.

Demystifying Progressive Web Application Permission Systems
Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) blend the advantages of web and native apps, offering features like offline access, push notifications, and installability. Beyond these, modern PWAs are increasingly granted system-level capabilities such as auto-start on login and shared context with native applications. However, their permission management remains poorly defined and inconsistently implemented across platforms and browsers. To investigate these gaps, we developed Permissioner, a cross-pla…
