Possible account creation/login bug

Hi! I think I may have found a bug with the account system.

I originally signed up using my email and a 3-letter username. I verified my email and used the account for several days without any issues.

Later, when I tried to log in again (I had been staying logged in until then), it suddenly said that my username, email, or password was incorrect.

I tried using the password reset option, but I never received the email. I also tried the email login/magic link option, and that email never arrived either.

After that, I clicked Sign Up again using the exact same email address, but this time I chose a longer, more unique username because I thought maybe the 3-letter username had caused the problem. I used the same password as before.

Instead of telling me that the email was already registered, it let me create another account and asked me to verify the same email again. After verifying it, I was able to log in with the new username.

I’m confused because if that email was already being used, I shouldn’t have been able to sign up again. Is it possible there’s an issue with account creation or with checking whether usernames or emails are already registered? Maybe something went wrong with my first account.

I just wanted to report it in case it helps identify a bug. Thanks!
