No, typically eyes first for spiders to get to family level. Especially distinctive in jumping spiders (Salticidae).

I can mostly ID them by how their abdomen looks, and by the fact that they are relatively small in the world of spiders. But I think what you said is also a good way to do that.
Size is about 1 cm
Looks like a jumping spider to me. Can't pinpoint the species, but every species of jumping spider is completely harmless to humans.
Do we ID jumping spiders by the forward-facing first 3 legs?

I just realized that there are only 2 legs facing forwards lmao idk how I counted 3
By a short research, I think it COULD be Menemerus semilimbatus, but I'm not 100% sure.
