> Two-step registration is a significantly improved sign up flow

It is usually worse for users using a password manager, since some of them will not be able to detect/autofill the password field on the second page. But I haven't checked, maybe Kratos UI is supported by all major password managers and this is not an issue here.

Since the parameter is called "enable_legacy_flow", does it mean it will be removed in future releases?

And for who is it improved? I just find it annoying to no end because it's an unnecessary extra click and often enough and extra round trip that for some reason takes forever

Happy self hosted Ory user here, thank you for building out. Has the process around customising the UI improved recently? That was by far the biggest pain point for me when setting it up.

Depends when you last looked at it, but are new version of Ory Elements (https://github.com/ory/elements) is in the works, which will make customising the UI smoother.

One-step registration is the legacy flow. AFAICT there are no plans to remove it but Two-step is the default going forward.

The out-of-the-box UI is support by all major pw managers, but you do need to click twice (once for username/once for password)

Yep, but everyone is moving to it…

i think services with lots of auth options (like google) are gravitating towards identifier first authentication because it is the middle ground between meeting sec requirements and keeping UX frictionless. also, in the case of kratos you were able to enable a bazillion methods by default, which would create one node for each method which in turn would make your UI look very confusing as kratos would require you to render one button for each method
