Spectral is not good about showing login failures. This isn't
something that affects regular users (since you only ever log in

the full login name - the format would be @user:server. For example,
I use @dilinger:queued.net. Even if you're using the default server
(matrix.org), you'll probably need to add it.
When using the @username:server.tld login name scheme, spectral
becomes usable, indeed.
This should be documented and maybe you can escalate this to upstream.
It seems to present a half-successful login if I simply use username
(not @username, not @username:server.tld), but from there on,
everything fails.
IMHO, spectral could be more assumptive for different login schemes.
(Prepend an "@" if missing, append a :<servername>, or in fact, look
for .well-known delegation configs for deriving the server_name).
FYI, Spectral was forked and the fork (called Neochat) is officially the
KDE team's matrix client:
https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/23/announcing-neochat-1.0-the-kde-matrix-client/
https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/neo-chat
This happened just before Debian bullseye froze, so I was unable to
package it. I plan to do so, and it's unclear what will happen with
Spectral for bullseye+1.
