You have my sympathy. I'm having Micros~1 issues here too. One of my workhorse portables (a relic flagship Samsung tablet*) had it's copy of Word for Android lose its link to my primary OneDrive account -- and there went my mobile writing workflow. Thought they'd forced an "upgrade" to O365 and totally ruined it, but figured it out. Easy fix, right? Use the app's wizard thingy to log in again, and your mother's brother is Robert.
No such luck. For absolutely no reason I could find (killed everything, even restarted the tablet) the login wizard ran like molasses in... liquid nitrogen.
Every. Character. Entered. Took. Twenty. Seconds. To. Appear.
Even typing <Tab> to get to the link/button for the next pop-up took twenty seconds to take effect.
As did typing <enter> once the highlight was in the right place.
Mind you, once I got through that mess, the app runs as nicely as ever. I'm almost certain this "malfunction" was deliberate, to "encourage" users to upgrade to O365 and contribute the subscription revenue stream... Officially, they'd claim it was to block bots. Nah.
Desktop is Win11 but I'm using LibreOffice and Firefox.
Collabora Office for Android has file compatibility issues I haven't sorted out, and AndrOpenOffice has its own issues.
