If you are seeing the error message "email already in use" when trying to log in, it might be due to how you signed up for your account on Magai. This article will help you understand why you are receiving this message and what you can do to resolve it.

Understanding the Error

The "email already in use" error typically occurs when:

1. You Are Trying to Use Google Sign-In: You are attempting to log in using Google sign-in.

2. Original Sign-Up Method Was Different: You originally signed up for your Magai account using an email and password, not Google sign-in.

Why Does This Happen?

When you sign up for Magai using a specific method (like email and password), that method is tied to your account. Here's why you might see this error even if you are using the same email:

1. Sign-Up Method Matters: Only users who signed up using Google sign-in can log in using that method. If you signed up using an email and password, you must continue to use this method to log in.

2. Email Confusion: Even though it might seem logical that if you signed up with a Google email address, you should be able to log in with Google sign-in, our system treats these sign-up methods separately.

How to Resolve This Issue

To resolve this login issue, follow these steps:

1. Log In with Email and Password:

- Go to the log-in page.

- Select the option to log in using your email and password.

- Enter your email address and password to access your account.

2. Forgot Your Password?:

- If you can’t remember your password, click on the "Forgot your password?" link on the log-in page.

- Follow the instructions to reset your password.
