[BUG]: Stremio login accepts invalid email formats without client-side validation

[aayan-rashid]

Description

The Stremio login form accepts invalid email formats without performing client-side validation. Users can enter arbitrary text in the email field, and the request is only rejected after reaching the backend.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Migrate from Stremio page.
2. Enter an invalid email such as:
   • dvwv1212 !!!
   • abc@abc
3. Enter any password.
4. Click Login to Stremio.

Screenshot

Expected Behavior

The email field should validate the input before submitting the request and prompt the user to enter a valid email address.

Actual Behavior

The form accepts invalid email formats and attempts to authenticate instead of displaying an immediate validation error.

Additional Context

Backend validation is working correctly, but client-side email validation would provide immediate feedback and prevent unnecessary authentication requests.

Hi @aayan-rashid,

Since #532 (email format validation) and #533 (required field validation) both concern client-side validation on the Stremio migration form, let's combine these into a single task to be implemented in a single PR when placing the Stremio migration feature inside the logged-in dashboard.

Assigning this issue to you!

Note: Please complete the main authentication flow updates (#530 / #531) first. Once the auth redirect flow and logged-in dashboard are in place, you can work on this Stremio migration validation task right after!
