That makes a lot of sense, thanks for pointing this out! I assumed that asking people to verify their emails would be enough but it never hurts to make things clear.
I'll make those changes as soon as possible.
There's a ton of reasons you don't want that, and should probably have a separate "sign up" flow for email/password login. Here's a few:
1. It's not at all clear you can actually do that. One guy in the comments below thinks you can only sign up using Github/Gitlab/etc.
2. Many of us have multiple emails, what if I don't remember what email I used for your service? Every time I try the wrong one, it'll just create a separate account, and it'll take me a few minutes to realize this isn't my account, but I just created a new one.
3. No double "password confirmation". Some sites skip this step now, so I guess it's not required, but not having it is part of why people will think this isn't a sign up field.
