The implementation may be bad but it seems like the same idea to me, “user must interact with UI before entering credentials”.


Except you don't have to. Just start typing your password.


Yes, that’s why it’s a bad implementation of a good idea.


Even if you had to, it's still a bad idea. Ctrl+Alt+Delete works, because no normal Win32 app can intercept this - so if you do it, and you see a login box, you know that this is the real thing.

But any app can go fullscreen and draw a fake login screen that you can swipe up to show a fake login form.
