I am unable to reproduce this error because I managed to create a new account successfully on recipya-app.musicavis.ca.

The error you receive comes from this if block in the source code:

// internal/server/handlers_auth.go
func (s *Server) registerPostHandler() http.HandlerFunc {
	return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		email := r.FormValue("email")
		password := r.FormValue("password")

		if !regex.Email.MatchString(email) || password != r.FormValue("password-confirm") {
			w.Header().Set("HX-Trigger", models.NewErrorFormToast("User might be registered or password invalid.").Render())
			w.WriteHeader(http.StatusUnprocessableEntity)
			return
		}
        ...
}

The order of error checks is as follows once you submit a registration:

1. Validate the fields from the form: Form error: User might be registered or password invalid.
2. Hash the password: Form error: Error encoding your password.
3. Register user in database: Database error: User might be registered or password invalid.
4. Create auth token: Auth error: User might be registered or password invalid.

Something you could do is the following:

1. Access the registration page: https://recipya-app.musicavis.ca/auth/register
2. Open the Web Developer Tools (F12) and go to the Network tab
3. Click the settings gear in the upper right and ensure Persist logs is checked
4. Type in your email, password and password once more. Please use a dumb password for step 8 below.
5. Submit
6. In the network tab, click the 422 POST recipya-app.musicavis.ca /registry entry
7. Click the Request tab under the panel that appears on the right
8. Please send the Form data that you see to me at macpoule@gmail.com.
9. I will have the information needed to see what's going on
