Login flow for homeservers other than Matrix.org is tedious #3444

Your use case

Logging in to my work account (element.io) on Android Element X takes:

This is confusing for people who are starting with a username (mxid), because they are required to touch multiple times just to get to the point where they enter their own details, and then they need to extract the homeserver name from their username.

Ideally people could just type in their username (mxid), and the flow would begin.

Have you considered any alternatives?
