Dear folks who make password entry web forms:
When thereʻs a field for the email address on the login page and also a "forgot password" link, please donʻt ask for the email adress again when the link is clicked on. Many password managers wonʻt try to recall a password unless the accountemail field is already filled in or at least started. If the email address has alredy been provided, just use that!
