"That's not the fault of the manual" etc in some sideways swipe is the sort of weird, passive aggressive comment that people just cannot help but insert so often. I didn't post asking what he thinks about my question or what he thinks about the manual or what he thinks about anything. I posted asking how to circumvent the dark pattern of being forced into a log-in page with no other options presented. If someone doens't think that's a dark pattern or isn't bothered by it they can move on rather than need to "make a point". Sometimes things are hidden in actions you don't know of like longer button presses etc. Thankfully I got the answer from others.
For the the record, I have no need to come here to "lecture and appear smart". I get far to many opportunities for the former in my day job and I am intelligent enough to know that "appearing smart" is a waste of time. (And yes, I am sure you will just take that as a demonstration of your point.) You are the person who read something into my reply that was not there. At the most, there might have been some exasperation in someone repeating a frequently asked question with obviously no prior research.
