Where this happens
Same Task, Other Interfaces
Use the version that matches where you are working now. The subject matter stays the same; the delivery changes by surface.
Do the work
- 1. Open `/auth/signin` if the person already has access or `/auth/signup` if they are starting fresh.
- 2. Enter the email address carefully because the code is sent to that exact address.
- 3. Submit the request and wait for the confirmation state before leaving the page.
- 4. If the app shows a retry window, wait for that cooldown instead of immediately resubmitting.
Keep this clear
- The browser flow chooses between `signin` and `signup` based on the page the user started from.
