Thanks for the attention, Hawk & zogstrip. Appreciate the clarification.

I agree that if this feature _did_ work in the local login form, the UX would be awkward because of the standard field order.

Would an option to enable it + alter the field order be a big lift?

Just wondering if one would better post a request in #Contribute > Feature or commission a plugin in #Marketplace.
