> - Separating the password from the email field

This is useful if you support authentication methods other than password

> - Not making the login form password manager friendly my not sticking to conventions for field names for this

Instead of relying on heuristics based on field names, it's also possible to annotate the field with the autocomplete attribute

You can still separate them and have a hidden password field for a password manager to bypass the other page or pass it through to the next page.
1Password manages to handle this just fine, even without the hidden password field trick. Perhaps we just need better password managers.
Even if password managers handle the two-page scenario you still have the delay of loading the second page. On high-latency connections this is a major problem.
