Hi, I am using Public with email. I send link on whatsapp and when someone uses the link, submits their email (eg. [1234@gmail.com](mailto:1234@gmail.com)), gets the Pin on their email, submits the Pin - then the App screen shows an email on the screen and that email id is not the same as one used to get the Pin. It shows something like ([wet-scene-023@anonymous.appuser.io](mailto:wet-scene-023@anonymous.appuser.io)). Why is that so? Ideally it should show the emial id used to get the Pin ie 1234. Is it a bug? If not then how can I hide the fake email id and show a banner saying to update profile by clicking the edit button on the upper right hand side? ---
