I have been creating flashcards on desktop for a while. I created an anki web account on my pc and synced my decks to it but when I went to the mobile app to login it said the account didnt exist; so I made one again on the phone with the same email. No decks show up on mobile at all and I dont know how to sync or how I created two accounts with the same email.
