(Update) Existing users will receive better feedback when attempting to sign up for a new Blend account

Update (12/18/23): This release is currently on hold until the New Year. An update will be provided in release notes once this feature relaunches.

When an applicant attempts to sign up for a new account prior to starting an application with an email that is already associated with a Blend user, the applicant will now be directed to "sign in" for clearer direction on how to proceed. 

Previously, if an applicant attempted to sign up for a new account in the sign up or create an account page with an email that was already associated with a Blend user, the applicant would see an error "A user with this email already exists." This messaging didn't provide the applicant with clear next steps. 

Now, if an applicant attempted to sign up for a new account in the sign up or create an account page with an email that was already associated with a Blend user, the applicant will see an error "A user with this email already exists. Please sign in to continue." 

The "sign in" text will link the user to the sign in page where they can proceed to sign in with their existing email and Blend user account. 

This is available now in customer production environments.
