Description
The current signup flow uses a magic link to complete signup. Without access to email (e.g. if you don't have email set up on your device, or for some reason the magic link email isn't delivered promptly) this point in the flow is a dead end:
Currently only about 65% of users who are sent the magic link actually use it. We should provide an option for those other 35% of users to finish the signup rather than get stuck on this step.
