Description of the problem

Can not login to Codesandbox.io from the VS Code extension.

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?

Can not use VS Code so I can not try out your service to determine if I want to pay for it.

To Reproduce

Click on "Sign In to CodeSandbox" from VS Code extension, then click "login with Github" or "login with Google" and it gives the following error on a white page.

{"errors":{"detail":["Account creation is restricted to codesandbox.io email addresses"]}}

Research direction

Start by reproducing the sign-in flow from the VS Code extension using GitHub or Google, as described in the issue, and inspect where the account-creation restriction error is returned. The issue names no source file or test; done means users can complete sign-in without receiving the codesandbox.io email restriction error.
