Netlify Identity gives error on trying to sign up using netlify cms, even though the UI appears (Jekyll)

Question

So if I accept the invite to sign up to my site (to use admin panel), I get the pop-up but if I try to sign up, it gives me a 404 error.

Same thing happens in the admin page as well.

I have set the github gateway too.

Any help is appreciated.

But I clicked on the log in with github button after accepting the invite. Isn't that the correct way to do this? — vishalscodes, Commented Apr 13 at 14:57
@mb21 Assuming it is so, can you tell me what could be the correct URL? Any help is appreciated. — vishalscodes, Commented Apr 13 at 15:32

If you haven't setup an authentication provider, you'll get a 404. https://decapcms.org/docs/github-backend/

You need to prepare an oauth provider to use github as a backend.

I'm sorry, but can you tell me how to do that, I have followed the docs, but can't get anything other than the 404.

Have you done this step? -> docs.netlify.com/security/secure-access-to-sites/… If you have already done, it's my misunderstanding.
