We had a bug in the DEV signin process forever which would randomly show an error message as invalid credentials or something like that as the error message being passed back to the oauth response. It was very uncommon, but never went away.
It turned out it wasn't invalid credentials, but the error message was actually just more of a catch all for "something went wrong". It turned out to be a timeout error. It sometimes took more than ~9 seconds to create an account and the request timed out.
We have some recently reported bugs about sign in issues, but each case has been a little bit different so far.
