Description
Expected behavior
I believe the Chromebook is in some kind of limbo here since it's not a mobile device but uses Android and you download the Android app from the Google Store. The log-in using the Magic link option is there, so it's safe to assume the users would think you can log into the Chromebook app using that option.
Actual behavior
But it won't let you log into the app. Instead, it will show this message:
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Install the WordPress App on a Chromebook
Click on the WordPress.com login option
Enter your email
Select the Magic Link option
Tested on [device], Android [version], WPAndroid [version]

Pixelbook
Google Chrome OS 91.0.4472.102 (official build) (64 bit)
Not sure about the user's device, will ask for more info.

Start by reproducing the Magic Link flow in the WordPress Android app on a Chromebook using the reported Chrome OS and Pixelbook details. Check the login behavior after the email is submitted and determine what successful Chromebook authentication should look like; the issue does not name a source file or test to run.
