Another +1. I think the email text should go along the lines of: Hi, someone tried to create an account with this email address, but you already have a snowdrift.coop account. If this was not you, no action is required. Your account is safe and no personal information has been revealed. If this was you, would you like to [log in]() or [reset your password]()? ---- The reset password and create account processes should really each be tracked in user story. I won't be around until later in the day but when I am, I will copy this discussion to taiga, in an existing US if I can find one. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
