Description
(Splitting this off from #19279 , which covered several independent UI bugs found while reviewing matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#6811)
In the interactive auth dialog that shows up, among other places, when resetting cross-signing keys: If we're using password authentication, add the username above the password prompt, to make it clearer that we're asking for the login password, rather than the recovery passphrase or something else.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the interactive auth dialog and its password-authentication entry point in the TypeScript client. Confirm where the username and password prompt are rendered, then verify that password authentication shows the username above the prompt without changing other authentication modes.
