Desktop new UI login page confuses digits-only usernames with phone numbers

There is an issue with the new login page’s user interface for desktop. It is currently not possible to log in using a username that contains only digits. The system automatically interprets a username made up entirely of digits as a phone number, rather than recognizing it as a valid username (as shown “Something went wrong. Please login with your username.”). As a result, users with numeric-only usernames are unable to log in via entering their username and password. That wasn’t the case for the previous desktop UI which correctly interpreted these digit-only usernames.

Expected behavior

The UI must interpret the username as such, instead of a phone number (like how the old UI used to do)
