This is completely the case, and at least from my experience the reality is worse than what is often believed: people don’t have distinctions between websites.
i.e. if a layman registers [email protected]:correctStaple, and then they open another-sitename.invalid the other day, and presented with login screen, his intuition will be “john@.:correctStaple has to work”, because that’s what he “entered” yesterday.
Federated sign-in solves this by allowing users to use coherent id:password string for any login page without having to have distinctions between domains.
