Record development issues

scene ：

There is a problem in writing code ： For example, we need to do a login operation , Then, before this login operation, several confirmation interactions should be carried out , Several interactions must be successful , The structure of the code I wrote is as follows

bool step1();
bool step2();
bool step3();
bool step4();
bool step5();
bool step6();

bool login()
{
    ret = step1();
    if(!ret)
    {
        return ret;
    }

    ret = step2();
    if(!ret)
    {
        return ret;
    }

    ret = step3();
    if(!ret)
    {
        return ret;
    }

    ret = step4();
    if(!ret)
    {
        return ret;
    }

    ret = step5();
    if(!ret)
    {
        return ret;
    }

    ret = step6();
    if(!ret)
    {
        return ret;
    }
    return true;
}

This code structure makes people look disgusting , How to optimize the ？

bool step1();
bool step2();
bool step3();
bool step4();
bool step5();
bool step6();

bool login()
{
    ret1 = step1();
    
    ret2 = step2();
    
    ret3 = step3();
   
    ret4 = step4();
   
    ret5 = step5();
  
    ret6 = step6();
  
    return ret1 & ret2 & ret3 & ret4 & ret5 & ret6;
}

Is this optimization OK ？    To express doubt
