Maybe a key (something with ctrl, probably) to jump from the
username question field to that view? Also, it’s pretty hard
to enter the username when there is only one column for one
to type (think typos)…

Maybe make it two-lined:

[--screen width----------------------------------------------------------]
Enter username for xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>>
(press ^X to see the full prompt): _

If that is possible with the lynx code in advanced user mode,
that is.
