Why Am I Seeing “User Already Exists”? (GoDNA Sign Up Issue)
You will see this error if your email is already linked to an existing DNA Behavior account.
What this means
If you see:
“User already exists. Please try another email.”
It means That email has already been used with DNA Behavior before.
Why this is happening
You’re trying to sign up with an email that already exists in our system.
This can happen if:
- You’ve used DNA Behavior before
- You had an account in the past (even if it was canceled)
- You signed up earlier using the same email
Even if your account is no longer active, the email is still registered.
How to fix it
You have 2 simple options:
Option 1. Use a slightly modified email
You can create a variation of your email by adding a “+”.
Example:
Your email:john.doe@company.com
john.doe+godna@company.comjohn.doe+1@company.com-
You’ll still receive emails in your regular inbox
-
No need to create a new email account
Option 2. Contact support (for existing users)
If you have used GoDNA before and want to continue with the same email:
Contact us at:
We can:
- Reactivate your account
- Help you regain access
- Update your email if needed
Which option should you choose?
| If you want… | Do this |
|---|---|
| Quick access (especially if you used DNA Behavior before) | Use the + email option |
| Keep using your original email (for previous GoDNA customers) | Contact support |
Common questions
Will I lose anything if I use +godna or +1?
No. It works like your normal email, and messages will still come to your main inbox.
Is this a bug?
No. This happens when an email is already associated with an account.
