Why do I get Ambiguous step definitions found for step 'Given I enter the password details' c# specflow

New to specflow using c# in VS 2019. Have implemented my steps and generated a step definition file, as below. Can't really get my head around Given, When, Then. The example I found and is common for most log in pages is that you usually get a login page that requires both username and password. However in my case, they are on 2 separate pages i.e. login with username first, then login via password as second page. For some reason and I think this is where the confusion lies, is that I don't understand where I should put 2-3 given statements in my code, hence error and only getting to sendkeys() to username and not being able to click login button.

Error: Ambiguous step definitions found for step 'Given I enter the password details'

This step cannot be executed as my steps are not correct.

[Binding]
    public sealed class HomeSteps
    {
        LoginPage loginPage = null;

        [Given(@"I launch the application")]
        public void GivenILaunchTheApplication()
        {
            IWebDriver webDriver = new ChromeDriver(@"C:\Users\Peter\Desktop\chromedriver_win32");
            webDriver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://mycompany.com/app/auth/login");
            loginPage = new LoginPage(webDriver);
        }


        [Given(@"I enter the username details")]
        public void GivenIEnterTheUserNameDetails(Table table)
        {
            dynamic data = table.CreateDynamicInstance();
            loginPage.enterUsername((string)data.username);
            
        }
        [When(@"I click the login button")]
        public void AndIClickTheLogin()
        {
            loginPage.ClickLoginButton();
        }
        [Then(@"I should see the login link")]
        public void ThenIShouldSeeTheLoghinLink()
        {
            Assert.That(loginPage.IsMicrosoftPageExist(), Is.True);
        }

        [Given(@"I enter the password details")]
        public void AndIEnterThePaswordDetails(Table table)
        {
            dynamic data = table.CreateDynamicInstance();
            loginPage.enterPassword((string)data.password);
        }

        [When(@"I click the sign in button")]
        public void WhenIClickTheSignInButton()
        {
            loginPage.ClickSignInButton();
        }

        [Then(@"I should see the login link")]
        public void ThenIShouldSeeTheLoghinLink1()
        {
            Assert.That(loginPage.IsCompanyPageExist(),Is.True);
        }
    }

Please help??

Scenario is:

Scenario: Perform login to EA web site
    Given I launch the application
    And I enter the username details
    | username |
    | [email protected] |
    When I click the login button
    When I shoukld see the microsoft logo
    When I enter the password details
    | password |
    | ...      |
    When I click the sign in button
    Then I should see the company page

The error message says it all:

Ambiguous step definitions found for step 'Given I enter the password details'

SpecFlow does not support multiple step definitions for the same step. You can only have one occurrence of [Given(@"I enter the password details")] in your step definition files, regardless of how many step definition classes you have.

Find where else in your step definition classes this definition exists. Pick one, delete all the others.
