bug: Duplicate auth error element in the login modal

[SanjanaSidhwani]

Problem

The auth modal in index.html contains two elements with the same id="auth-error".

Current Behavior

The login/signup modal renders duplicate error message elements, which creates invalid duplicate DOM IDs and can make error handling inconsistent.

Expected Behavior

There should be only one auth-error element in the auth modal, and the error message should display correctly without duplicate IDs.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the StudyPlan app.
2. Go to the auth modal.
3. Inspect the modal structure.
4. See that there are two <p id="auth-error"> elements.

Environment

• Browser: Chrome
• Version: Any

Additional Context

This is a small UI/DOM cleanup issue. The proposed fix is to remove the duplicate auth-error paragraph from the auth modal and keep only one error element.

Hi @Charushi06,

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC'26.

I will remove the duplicate auth-error element, ensure unique IDs are maintained, and verify that authentication error handling continues to work correctly after the fix.

Please assign this issue to me.

Thank you!
