Email field validation and auto-fill in Login/Signup forms

[Tong-Ding]

Before the design team tests the new layout updates for the signup and login website, there are verification issues with these two forms that can be dealt with:

For the login form:

• The “Email” field lacks a proper verification policy. If users input '3' as their email address, an error message appears, but if they enter '3@1', the error message does not appear. Additionally, when users provide an incorrect email, the page refreshes without autofilling data.

For the signup form:

• The “Email” field also lacks a verification policy immediately. If users provide an incorrect email, the page refreshes without autofilling data.

Before you get too deep into this, please drop into #design on slack and ask if there's any login form or newsletter signup design work that's been done. I know we've done some things to both of these based on UX concerns, but I don't know if there's more design wanted or not.

One thing - the account signup form is our own code limited by what our db expects, the newsletter one is limited by what mailchimp expects. We may have to live with some differences, but 👍 to trying to reduce them.

Thanks for the info! I'll check with the #design team on Slack regarding any designs.
