How to design form sign in and sign up and recover account using CSS3

Misplaced <form> tag:
- The <form> tag is placed before the <head> section. It should be inside <body>.
Unclosed Tags:
- Several <div>, <button>, and <form> tags are not properly closed.
Misplaced <link> for CSS:
- The stylesheet link should be inside <head>, not within the <form> tag.

Issues in CSS:

Incorrect CSS syntax:
- Some properties are defined outside of selectors.
- Some rules are not closed properly (e.g., missing }).
Duplicate or conflicting styles:
- Multiple color definitions for <a>.
- Multiple border-color definitions in .btn-facebook:hover.
Unused and misplaced styles:
- Some styles appear to be written but not applied due to missing selectors.

Fixed Code:

Step 1: sign-in.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
