For me, it’s because the password I entered didn’t meet the minimum requirements. The instance signup page had some kind of issue with actually letting me know that was the problem, it just gave me the spinning pinwheel forever. I refreshed and tried changing the password to something more complex and it worked instantly
For some reason, I was able to bring the same name, password, and everything here and it worked. That other server did want a rather complex password and both said the password was “medium” strength. The first one I tried did return me to the landing page as if it took, and said “email sent” without an email actually arriving. I’m guessing that it was just buggy.
I think a lot of instances have been having issues in general, it’s just that one of the more common issues seems to be an infinite load screen instead of telling you there was an error, regardless of whether the error was “bad password” or “something went wrong on the server.”
