Description

When a user tries to use the "log in" page, it currently only works if they have a paid or "permanent free" account. But if the user doesn't have an active account (either paid or "permanent free") and does have a previously activated trial, then it should just use that.

To be clear, users can still "log in" to free trials using the extpay.openTrialPage() page. When they "log in", their user's trialStartedAt property becomes populated with the first time they activated a trial with that email address.

Research direction

Start by tracing the log-in page's account eligibility check and how the user's trialStartedAt property is populated. Confirm the existing trial-login flow through extpay.openTrialPage(), then make the log-in page accept users with a previously activated trial and verify that paid and permanent-free account behavior remains unchanged.
