When this toggle is off:
We used to get a nice error message that just states "account not found" or something generic when we have this toggle off, now we get an 500 error screen
Reproducing the bug
Set the privacy toggle to "Off" which means do not expose detail error message.
Try a login screen with an unkonwn email, You will get this screen (in dutch):
