Google, as of a while ago.

Persona at least had a good reason for it, with not all users needing to enter a password.

Perhaps, but it seemed to do a pretty poor job of remembering me...

At least with Google, despite them being a pretty poor example of good auth UX, you only ever have to type in your password (+ 2fa code etc)
