MAS makes it weirdly hard to see what user you are logging in as. #5111

Describe the bug

If you are already logged in on MAS and try to log in on a new Matrix client, it's surprisingly hard to see what user you are logged into MAS as.

For instance:

Nowhere does this say which server I'm actually trying to log into (matrix.org, in this instance) - and the fact that it's trying to log me in as @matthew:matrix.org is distinctly hidden ("Not matthew? Sign out" in the greyed out small print at the bottom).

Surely this should say "Allow Element to log in as @matthew:matrix.org" or "as 'matthew' on the 'matrix.org' server" in massive letters or something?

To Reproduce

  1. go to account.matrix.org and log in
  2. go to develop.element.io or somewhere and log in
  3. admire the permissions page which makes it very unclear which account you're about to grant access to.
