“Login” is such a misnomer. It sounds like a password check (==read) but includes write activities of various kinds and complex can’t-skip logic.
It’s the step where the system first sees the user and must establish identity, of course. But it’s also an attractive place for system designers to frontload complex logic that result in cache-priming or context-priming which the rest of the system depends upon. And then there’s DDOS, device status, account status, anti-fraud, throttles, etc.
