Unnecessary dialog shown by Google SmartLock

[Nilzor]

Disclaimer: I don't know the code well so I don't know if this is fixable

It looks like Google SmartLock shows an unnecessary and annoying dialog at the start of the singup flow in the following case:

• The user have configured the phone with multiple GMail accounts
• The user hasn't stored the password for the Schibsted Account in any of those accounts

The dialog looks like this

It basically asks us to choose which account "to continue with". I don't understand what selecting any of those actually does though.

When done entering a username and password, we get aske once again which account to store it in. This dialog is necessary and fine:

Finally note that when you do have a password stored in any of the configured accounts, the initial dialog int he flow looks like this (and is also fine)

In summary: I want someone to find out if we can drop the dialog illustrated at the top here, and still retain all the functionality of Google SmartLock. It would improve the user experience

Have you had a chance to look at this?

Yes, I finally got around to it now after vacation: The initial prompt is expected, see step 4 here, but it's supposed to result in the selected identifier being used/pre-filled in the login/signup flow. That was not working correctly, but has been fixed in #404.
