The interface to log in on Overleaf is maddening. What appears to be a log in field is actually for signing up. Taking you to a "an account with email already exists" page after attempting to log in.

This looks like every login page on every website currently
- In my experience they look like this:
  
  well, you were looking at the home page, not the login page
What I find annoying is when the "Sign up with ..." button only imports all your data. It doesn't use OAuth to sign you in and requires you to create a password.
THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF SIGNING IN WITH A THIRD PARTY!
- They might ask you to create a password, but you don't need to use the password to sign in.
