Description

If you don't complete the sign up flow by entering the confirm code sent to your email and you close that page without entering the email confirmation code, you won't be able to use the account created with that email

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to the sign up page
2. Enter your email, password and confirm password and press the "sign up" button
3. Close the page without entering the email confirmation code

4. Try and sign up again(you can't because your account was already created)
   

5. Since the account exists, try and login(you can't because your account has not been confirmed, but you can go to the confirm page since it's conditionally rendered in the sign up page after you get pass step 2 above)
   

6. Now you're stuck

Expected behavior:

Some options:

1. Be allowed to use the same email to sign up again if email not confirmed
2. Have the confirm page be on it's own page so that you can be able to navigate to it via a link in the sign up page a link or the address
3. Be allowed to login if you've signed up with out confirmation but be navigated to a confirmation page as soon as you login

Actual behavior:

Basically, if you're not able to confirm with the code sent to your email right away that page is by mistake, then say bye bye to the email you wanted to sign up with. Unless you know the repo owner, maybe you can ask them to delete your account so that you can start over
Reproduces how often:

I haven't tried it multiple times because I don't want to lose all my email accounts
