**Free text follows:**
I wanted to flag a spam post on aviation. For that I first needed to login and turned out I had no account so Google asked me to confirm the access request. In the meantime the spam post was soft-deleted which made the redirect fail with an 408 (I believe). The account was created and linked to my network profile but populated with defaults. In that process my displayname was set to my fullname obviously obtained from Google. On the profile my displayname was just rene, but the site showed my fullname. I made a profile change on SO to get all my profiles updated. Those changes propagated correctly.
Can you add some extra safe-guards in the sign-up process to succeed correctly when an existing profile is used but the final redirect ends in an error? I don't like my full name being leaked when I have no intention in doing so.
