Sign-up process should not reveal info

If the login doesn't work or doesn't exist

@gsmachado Currently, we only display that there is no match for this combination. We don't reveal if a) the account does not exist or b) that the password is incorrect. Therefore, at least in my opinion, no "valuable" information is revealed in the current message displayed.

What message would you prefer in case we still should change it? "Oops something went wrong." Seems too generic IMHO, I'd think there was a problem with the server and probably would try the same combination again.

Sign-up:
Account already exists. Would you like to recover the password?

@gsmachado just saw this now, will implement accordingly.

That info you provided is only for the sign up, what about the login?
Or is the current text for the login ok?

[gsmachado]

@sdkalchofner I think on the login page we already have the text. I think it's fine for the login.

For the sign-up, I think it'd be good to display something like "Account already exists. Would you like to recover the password?" and then make the "recover password" clickable to the same page as the "forgot your password?" on the current login page.

That's my 2 cents.

This is not ESSENTIAL until the live, but if it's relatively easy to do, why not? 😄

@gsmachado Well, displaying a different error is a simple label change so easy :p

Differentiating between account exists error and general error also simple, but needs more time haha

But in that case I'll wait until after go live with this :)
