@ritchiezzz, your logic doesn't make sense. Whether the user is prompted at the beginning, or at the end of the process, the "onus" is still on the user as it should be. You do not want any software storing sensitive data even temporarily. The only difference in before and after is; in order to prompt the user after, the browser has to go through it's posting process. This means storing the password in session, a cookie or some other method, and that is the last thing you want to do. Unless you can ensure that every site has written their web app with a full client-side only stack using tools like Blazor, you do not want your browser posting anything temporary to a foreign server.
To anyone that knows anything about cyber security, this is about the most frightening thing to hear anyone say : "For example, the software could automatically record the password as the user types it, creating a temporary entry." Do you realize how much malware is out there? You do not want any software recording your password as you type it!
It sounds like you simply do not like it the way it is, because none of your arguments are convincing. All users should take responsibility and security seriously, when it comes to their safety and certainly own it. And, I would disagree when you say that this would seldom prove successful, just ask 1Password how they're doing.
