Have you tried signing up twice with the same email address? I think Firebase won’t allow that. ---

i have tried without realizing, which is how i discovered the error. i want to see if i can make the error for users who accidently try to do the same thing ---

I think this setting will prevent that: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/b/2b1ce105f31ce8aecec700db65452d24e7c7348d.png) ---

I’m not sure which error you mean but if you assign the green ‘error’ block to a label’s text, you can display it. ---

i was working on a backup (which is this same app but a slightly previous version) and the issue seemed to resolve itself and my custom error was able to show up. not sure how, but i guess it was working all along 😛 this topic can be closed if needed now ---

earlier i was tweaking my firebase blocks, and all of a sudden the emails can’t seem to verify ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/a/ca30032b62bdcf1347dd949c01e6063c5669e065.png) which is strange, because the verification email seems to send, and the link works ![Screenshot 2023-11-04 173346](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/c/5c047ac9501db2bb22e0b3820d3e0242829bb363.png) here are the blocks that have to do with verifying emails, if that helps ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/4/04b728f1e188b807556b272a3c7fadb4f133efff.png) ---

Please don’t create multiple topics for the same problem. It makes it confusing for anyone trying to help you. I’ll close this and merge it with your other topic. ---
