Why dbconnections/signup returns 400 when user has existed? Why not return 409?

In the document of signup/create-a-new-user. This seems to return ‘409Conflict, user already exists.’ if a user exists, but in fact it returns 400.

Hi @fvoidcn and welcome to the Auth0 Community!

Thank you for pointing this out! Please allow me some time to investigate, and I will get back to you with an answer.

Have a great day!

Hi again @fvoidcn !

When I test it, the endpoint returns the correct response, a 409 Conflict.

Is it possible for you to give more details of the steps you took so I can try to recreate it?

Kind regards,
Teodor.

I have tried again. Actually the log in auth0 is “The user already exists.”, log_id: ‘90020250917070019501741000000000000001223372041734337680‘. But It responses ‘{
“name”: “BadRequestError”,
“code”: “invalid_signup”,
“description”: “Invalid sign up”,
“statusCode”: 400
}‘ in the chrome page. It is so strangeness.

Hi again @fvoidcn !

If it’s not too much trouble, could you please write down the steps you took?

Kind regards,
Teodor.
