Provide clear indication on failed "Primo Login Using Email"
"Primo Login Using Email" is a recently added feature in Alma to manage users that weren't in any external IdP. Alma would not need to manage password for those users and send them a one-time link to login to Primo. However, I discover that there are problems with the implementation of Email Login. When patron account has blocks that wouldn't allow them to log in, e.g. expired, Alma just simply not generate any email. It won't even give patron any error message like "login failed". It leaves patrons wondering why they did not receive any email. Ex Libris should add warning message either in the "Login by Email" screen or send a fail to login email to the patron. So that Patron know for some reason they won't be able to log in. It provides a useful feedback and makes Alma intuitive.

The May 2018 Release includes an update to the login via email: If a user tries to log in with a login link sent by email, but the user is blocked or otherwise not permitted to log in, the user will see a message to this effect after trying to log in using the link.
