No, of course not. This is far too common. What it means is developer team 1, possibly at time 1, created the "onboard a new user account" web pages, while developer team 2, likely at different time 2, created the actual "log an existing user on" web pages, and neither team talked or interacted with each other to learn what the other team had done. This is the same symptom that gives "password" fields that (if a description is even privided) says "use any characters except $ and % for your password" [1] yet when you actually try to use a password with ^ or # you mysteriously discover that # or ^ is also on the "you can't use that" list, but not mentioned in the visible documentation. And sometimes discover that the documented $ or % is actually acceptable. [1] yes, a code smell for a developer that does not know what they are doing
