Accurate error messages for backend problems #93

Closed interrogator closed 4 years ago

interrogator commented 4 years ago

When the backend is in the process of being built/deployed, and someone tries to log in, they get incorrect error messages like 'Incorrect email/password'.

If we go live with this, we'll get users thinking their credentials are wrong, and try to reset them, when really it's our fault.

Ideally we can get the error message from backend and display it to the user. Better for them to know what's going on and report something useful to us.

Propose waiting for user issue report, since at xmas party we found out that we've only had this issue during development (when the backend was still building). Therefore it may not actually be a problem that affects users. And we found out it's hard to fix, so we should only do if necessary.

No issues for a while. Closing.
