Is it acceptable to use a login/registration form like this one on the site?

Two input fields and a confirmation button.

If the entered email and password match those in the database, the user enters the site. If only the email matches, a link to reset your password appears below. If the email does not match any of the available ones, we ask the user if he wants to register.

Is the sequence of actions for further registration obvious to the average user who first came to the site?

Or is it still better to make the classic “Sign up” and “Restore password” links below?

Never liked buttons that implicitly do two different things.
In most cases, the user will think that the registration is private (invited) and immediately dump it.

If your goal is the maximum convenience of login / registration for the user, it makes sense to think about third-party authorization from Open ID providers. The same vk, facebook, twitter or something else (or maybe all at once).

And I really like this option. On some sites, clicking on this button with empty fields leads to the same double screen, with registration and re-authorization / password reminder.

Even if this solution is more convenient than the classic one, this does not mean that it is more understandable to the user. It depends on your audience. Try to give such a form to an ordinary user and observe his actions, it seems to me that there will be difficulties. The user is used to doing it the way he did it on many other sites. By the way, where are the authorization-registration buttons through external services, like Facebook?

Some time ago, there was an article on Habré that it was not necessary to torment the user with unnecessary fields and requirements during registration, how stupid it is to insert unreadable captchas and require entry of almost the entire pedigree up to the third generation for registration. Unfortunately I couldn't find it. Can someone tell me the link, I think the author will be interested to read.
