Error message bug in custom-login

[stephanie.chamblee]

Hi @mvxt,

In your advanced settings, you can disable the “Use a generic response in public signup API error message” so that the username_exists is returned. Otherwise a generic error will be returned for security reasons.

How can I avoid the generic error message when a user attempts to sign up with an existing email address?

When a user attempts to sign up with an existing email address, they see this generic error: WE’RE SORRY, SOMETHING WENT WRONG WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SIGN UP. This is confusing. How can I show them ‘user already exists’ instead?
