I think that's not what they're talking about. They're asking why does when you sign into gmail, the site (gmail.com / google) first asks you for your username on one page/form, then for the password on another.

Google can use another identity provider to authenticate. When you type in your username, it detects if it needs to redirect you to a third party IDP. This is usually used in enterprise settings.
