Here is the Answer to your Question:

As per the HTML you provided, you can use the following xpath to identify the element-

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@ng-model='email' and @placeholder='Username']"));

Incase you are facing an ElementNotVisible exception you can induce ExplicitWait to wait for the element to be clickable as follows:

WebDriverWait wait7 = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element7 = wait7.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//input[@ng-model='email' and @placeholder='Username']")));
element7.click();

Let me know if this Answers your Question.

Try this, this should work.

WebElement emailInput = new WebDriverWait(driver, 30).until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//input[ng-model='email']")));

JavascriptExecutor je = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

WebElement Username = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@placeholder='Username' and @type='text'"]));

je.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);",Username);

Username.sendKeys("Name");
