Unified Login & Sign-Up: "unknown_user" error is tracked when signing up with Google #90

@staskus

Description

@staskus

The social login failure message is logged when signing up with a Google account that is not associated with the WordPress.com account.

{"success":false,"data":{"errors":[{"code":"unknown_user","message":"Hmm, we can't find a WordPress.com account for that social login. Please double check your information and try again."}]}}

These logs can be misleading when tracking user log in issues.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. On the Prologue Screen, tap "Log in or sign up with WordPress.com"
  2. Tap Continue with Google.
  3. Pick a Google account that is not associated with a WordPress.com account.
  4. Notice the Sign-Up Confirmation screen
  5. Finish the sign up
  6. Open Me
  7. Help & Support
  8. Application Logs
  9. See "Hmm, we can't find a WordPress.com account for that social login. Please double check your information and try again." error

According to these past changes, it should not be happening anymore.
