Paginated login
Microsoft enabled it in ADFS on WS 2019. I know there are plenty other places it's used, but It's the example I'm most familiar with.
There can be a security element to it depending on how the server handles paginated auth as it separates the password field away from the user ID. You can also interject the second factor first before the password to protect brute forcing.
But the larger reason I've read is that it's easier for end users to use. Here's MS talking about it with ADFS.
"Instead of a long form to fill out, a new flow takes you through the sign-in experience step-by-step. Our research shows that with this approach, our customers have more successful sign-ins."

Whether this is true or not is debatable. I'd love to see passwords die out. I doubt I'll see that in my lifetime though.
Me too, public key based authentication would be so much better, and safer too. But that would require intelligent end users, which is impossible.
How would you replace it instead? Biometric?
Biometric or certificate on a physical device (e.g. Yubikey) auth via Webauthn/FIDO2 is becoming more popular.
