Login UI: email not sent when using magic link sign-in without signup

[kfrp]

• EdgeDB Version: 5.2

Not quite a bug so much as a UX issue:

Currently, EdgeDB's hosted login UI does not send magic link emails from the "signin" tab if the email has not been previously used in the "signup" tab. However it still says in very clear terms: "A sign in link has been sent to your email. Please check your email."

In my discord question it came up that the intent is to keep it vague whether an email has already been registered or not, which makes sense - but the language should be a bit more ambiguous, e.g ""If that email has been registered, you will receive an email with a sign in link."

Alternatively I would suggest that magic links should be sent from both sign-in and sign-up regardless of whether email is already signed up. This is how the OAuth provider logins work, and it would make sense since clicking the email link would then verify the email anyway.
