Refactor the login/signup experience #200

We currently have a very non-intuitive way of logging in with Campus Net. I got many people asking how do they enter the website. Since we are a stand-alone platform, we should make it obvious that we are different than CN and the accounts created on one website is not the other as the one created in Connect. What do you think?

Agreed. We should have a disclaimer somewhere. Maybe the little info popup, could be a button that opens a modal with a longer explanation?

I was thinking of breaking the functonality in 2:

  1. login with connect credentials
  2. register with CN (happens on register popup)

I like the idea. I think it would avoid some confusion and people would see that they're only using campusnet to create an account, but then they use the account they just created.
