Hi, did you register with the same email that you’re trying to enter?

Please provide the server log from when you get that error.

You're getting HTTP 500 response, which typically indicates generic back-end issue (likely), but doesn't completely exclude frontend issue (less likely). You could try doing a hard refresh, clear browsing data or just use another browser. 

Anyway, @ebrwill see the log and recheck/reconfirm everything is in order at Emby's side. 

As a side note, your log is flooded with Backup & Restore plugin errors due to no write access, you might wanna review your permissions.
