Description

When the Line App is not installed and the "Mi" browser is used to present the login webpage, there is no way to back out or cancel the login process. There is no "cancel" button on the webpage, and the Android "back" button only returns the user to the home screen, which upon returning to the application, just resumes the browser with no way to escape.

Is there a way to include some sort of "cancel" button on the web login UI that might send the user back to the application? Or is there some other way to back out of the browser that I cannot see?

Research direction

The report concerns the login webpage shown in Mi Browser when the LINE app is not installed, where Android back navigation cannot cancel the flow. Start by tracing the Android login flow and its browser handoff; done means the user can cancel and return to the app, or the supported way to back out is documented.
