Unable to get input element from website

So I'm trying to get an input element from Twitter but when I run it it keeps giving me an error like this in node terminal and as a result the browser window created by this code will close itself as it finds Not having the correct input selector. How do I get the correct type of input?

Error: Element of selector not found: input[name="text"]

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,
  })
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  page.setViewport({
    width: 1280,
    height: 800,
    isMobile: false
  })
  await page.goto("https://twitter.com/i/flow/login");
  await page.type('input[name="text"]', 'username', {delay: 25})
})();

I tried different selectors, including the class attribute, but I still get the error

    You need to waitForSelector appear on the page before entering. That's why you get the error, it can't find the element.

      await page.waitForSelector('input[name="text"]');
      await page.type('input[name="text"]', 'username', {delay: 25})
